From the 1992 BBC Press Pack: Faith Kent as Olive King "Olive comes across as a busybody. She's an old thing who likes standards and values and came out to live in Spain thinking she would find them here. I think she's a bit shocked at the standards and values she finds."

It's so refreshing to see a soap without all the pc holier than thou wokery. A few awkward bits in the early days but Corrine sorted that.

Nikki Plummer 💜🤍💚 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 U&Drama Eldorado Rewind U Carly Spice It wasn't given a chance once the powers that be had decided it would go before it really had chance to settle. As the new writers/producers came in & cast changes it improved so much, no worse than any other soaps. It could have run throughout the 90s at least.

I wonder if it was on now with shows like Bargain Loving Brits on tv would not seem so far removed as it was deemed back then ?
