10 British TV Flops That Cost Millions

[matthewroberts]

Putting Emmerdale above Eastenders was a BOLD move 😂

Casualty is not a soap opera. It does have a few soap opera themes to it but it's more about the side characters as in the patients and the hospital than soaps like EastEnders and Corrie. Casualty doesn't go to the British Soap Awards so therefore it's not a Soap Opera

[CashelOConnolly]

After over 60 years surely nothing can touch Coronation Street

[charlesschofield]

This list should have Emergency Ward 10 because, according to the 1001 TV Series You Must Watch Before You Die book, it's TV's first successful soap opera.

Eastenders is my Favourite Serial Drama but I also like The Australian Serial Dramas Neighbours and Home and Away. Also I'm Enjoying classic episodes of Brookside on STV Player.

You missed out the Scottish soap opera River City, which is set in the fictional district of Shieldinch in the west end of Glasgow, it also tackles important social issues like the other soaps do, and it has humour as well

[NickCC]

Crossroads theme was recorded by Paul McCartney and Wings and that version was used occasionally. Concludes Venus and Mars LP.

[MsTeo]

Eastenders should have been one number purely based on the Max and Stacey Christmas Episode

[tracysteele]

I would nt call Grange hill a soap opera it was a children's drama

[shakz]

The list is not complete without Sunset Beach! The most hilarious soap opera ever.

[Foebane]

My mother would be APPALLED that you haven't put "THE ARCHERS" on this list!

[Hardcoremayhem]

Kind of a filler list seeing as Casualty and Grange Hill aren't considered soaps but rather are Dramas

[DB-ubwx]

No way is Emmerdale better than Eastenders !!!

[vickyf]

Could you do a top 10 greatest Thunderbirds and/or Thunderbirds are Go episodes

[edwardperkins]

Sons & Daughters, Prisoner Cell Block H/Wentworth Prison, Days of Our Lives and Sunset Beach.

[nebbynetwork]

Hollyoaks is one of my favourite programs

[louisejohnson]

What happened to the fellow who fell through the well cover?!

[TheYoungDoctor]

The show I like in the list is Grange Hill which isn't actually a soap opera. The only actual soaps I like are Dark Shadows and Prisoner: Cell Block H.

[tristanmcmillan]

where is Neighbours everyone knows its basically British.
