BBC Spanish soap ‘Eldorado’ returning to screens?
By Sam Rigby
BBC soap Eldorado could be set to make a return to screens.
The Spanish serial drama – which aired on BBC One in 1992 and 1993 – is the subject of ongoing talks with UK broadcasters, the Mirror reports.
Fans of the show launched an online campaign to revive the series and their work has now caught the attention of former actors and producers of Eldorado.
Cast members Polly Perkins, who played Trish Valentine, and Franco Rey, who starred as Roberto Fernandez, recently returned to the set on the Costa del Sol with producer Andrew Mark Sewell.
If Eldorado was to return, it could feature in the daytime schedules, rather than returning to the primetime slot it held in the early ’90s.
Perkins said: “People are still talking about Eldorado even after all these years. The tourists loved it, they felt connected with us and used to visit our locations.”
Alan Yentob, the former BBC1 Controller who axed the show in 1993, recently admitted: “The campaign is more famous than the show itself!”
