Damon and Debbie is a three-part 'soap bubble' from Brookside, broadcast across three November 1987 Wednesday evenings on Channel 4. Produced by Mersey Television, the three-part series is written by Frank Cottrell-Boyce and directed by Bob Carlton. Teen sweethearts Damon Grant and Debbie McGrath flee their disapproving parents in Liverpool, only to end up on the lam and culminating in tragedy.
