In the early 90’s, BBC1 were looking for a thrice weekly soap to replace Wogan and lead their evening schedules into battle with ITV. Westbeach was one of the shows in the running, the tale of two rival families in a fictional English seaside town, they were pipped at the post by the sunnier seashores of Eldorado. The idea was reworked, showing up as a ten part hourlong drama on the Saturday night schedules in 1993.</blockquote>
