[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 152001, member: 23"] Ah yes. I remember reading that the powers that be have found it very difficult to launch British soaps like [I]EastEnders[/I] and [I]Coronation Street [/I]in the States during the Eighties and Nineties with any degree of success, partly because of the extensive histories and also because of the regional dialects and accents (I swear at one point I read that subtitles were being considered for one of them). But also because the overall style of production and presentation was very different to what Americans were used to. Oh dear. I have vague memories of this being launched here in the early to mid Nineties and being extremely badly received. Even as someone who thoroughly enjoyed Australian soaps of the Eighties, I just knew it was bad. I admire your bravery in taking a peek, Daniel. [/QUOTE]
