Comments on: Moving Wallpaper/Echo Beach The content and distribution of good television, wherever its coming from. By: Christian Hookway I liked Echo Beach, pity it came to an end. I hope there will be more episodes sometime in the near future. Was this an experiment to see how well it goes down with the viewers? The name Polnarren is very convincing as a Cornish place, though I know it was filmed at Watergate Bay, I have been there a couple of times about 4 years ago. Well, all I can say is, I wish the makers of this programme good luck in any further series they plan to do. I would like to see it as a regular set soap. By: Michael Lock Well, there we have it, Echo Beach has come to and end, or has it? The storyline cannot end like that, in a cliff hanger surely! What could happen is:- After Dan & Mark wrestle themselves overboard, susan does manage to drive the boat. (at first giving the impressaion that she could'nt due to panic) Does she get back to shore or steer the boat back to rescue Dan? or if she does, will she find that in the last minute Dan just about saves Mark at the last moment putting and end to his bad reputation with the Penwarden family in Polnarren? Well scriptwriters, there is a suggestion if you are going to do another series, or better still set it as a long running soap. By: Michael Lock It would be good if Echo Beach would become a more regular soap, as I have noticed that it is a series of 12 episodes. This program has potential and has an atmosphere about it. I always think that if it has these qualities it could go on long running. Maybe this is a pilot series to see if it catches on. If it was on as regular as say, Coronation Street I reckon the script writers would find it quite hard work. Perhaps a "fixed" weekly spot would be easier to write, and it would be unique in having a long running soap that is shown weekly. By: Calhoon Hmmm, good question, I probably wanted it to fail miserably and the only reason i tuned is was the same reason people slow down at motorway accidents. Either that or I have a man crush on Jason Donovan !! I think i'll go with the first answer. By: ebarnieh What made you watch in the first place though? I can't quite put my finger on it... By: Calhoon I can only agree with your review, throughly enjoyed both shows, Ben Miller particularly makes Moving Wallpaper worth watching. Echo Beach strikes me as an ITV1 show that was pitched seriously "it's like Hollyoaks, but in Cornwall" but someone in the production office came up with the very brave idea to make it a double header with Moving Wallpaper and take the piss out of themselves. It's the first hour of ITV1 i've watched (let alone enjoyed) in decades. |
