I own this DVD set. Perhaps this Soap Opera is more close to real life than anything we have here in the states. One of the reasons it did make as much of a hit as it did is explained nicely on the DVD. It was with Ken fixing a bike in the living room..........being watched by a young man ......fixing a bike in the living room.
Even to this day the people on the street are just people. Hair dressers, cab drivers, shop keepers, cafe owners and barkeeps. In fact the only *rich* person is Mike Baldwin and all he owns is a *Knicker* factory!
I was fortunate to be living in England and seeing this program while I was there and again once I returned home on the CBC from Canada (only 6 months behind
)on my big satillilte dish. You can still *watch* it on the computer by going to the ITV website.
And I do. There is even a fan site that does catch up back stories and Glenda Young does not only an accurate one, but with humor.

The CBC also shows the weekly shows on their web site, unfortunately it's only available in Canada. I was dissapointed to discover that while in San Diego for 2 months. And you don't need a dish or cable to watch it on TV in Canada, one of our neighbours still watches it with rabbit ears.
