Short-lived BBC soap Eldorado

About this episode

Michael Hogan discusses the short-lived BBC soap opera Eldorado with host Julia.

Journalist and author Michael Hogan reminisces with Julia about the blink-and-you'll-miss-it BBC soap opera Eldorado. A costly experiment for the BBC which built a small village in which to shoot the sun-soaked Spanish saga that only ran for a year in the early nineties. Julia's never really gotten over the cancellation of Wogan to make way for it and for what? Michael's brilliantly witty and twisty debut cosy crime novel - The Dog Walkers' Detective Agency - is out now and available in paperback. Hosted on Acast.
