I remember on the old TV Ark forums around 2001/2-ish, someone claimed that Brookside had some sequences shot on film in the early days. Though from all the clips I've seen from the show, I've never seen any, not even on scenes shot away from the close in the show's early days. I guess it's possible, filmed location work was still common at the time (and for years afterwards) so there could have been reasons they'd have to use film on some occastions, but I've never seen any evidence of it. Even the non-UK location work from the early days I've seen is on video (when EastEnders had to use film for their Venice shooting in 86). Something else I guess we'll find out watching these repeats.
