In 1992, the year of falling European barriers, the BBC did its bit for the cause by launching a thrice-weekly 'soap for Europe'. Trailed in the tabloids as 'sex, sun and sangria', Eldorado was set in the Spanish fishing village of Los Barcos, and focused on its community of expatriate Brits, Frenchmen and Danes, all 'living their dream' of a home in the sun but the discovering that their new life was not one long holiday after all.
Sadly the series (created by Julia Smith and Tony Holland - the creators of Eastenders) was cancelled a year after it had begun by the new BBC 1 boss Alan Yentob.
Eldorado
au contraire Jan.....this was a brilliant piece of drama!
And incidentally, the man who played the character of Bunny Charlson, (the one with the rather young wife!), was played by Roger Walker, who also played none other than Bungle in "Rainbow"!!
