How about a British soap based on the American model

OTT storylines and very beautiful people. Most of the charators are rich and live in big houses and have beautiful clothes.

It could work and should be tried. I just dont understand why all brit-soaps have to be about poor ugly folk

Where in Britain would you set it though that the sun shines all day long and everybody is glamourous?

How about outside Cafe Rouge in Southgate?. What ever the weather it's entirely populated all day with men who appear to be doing deals (or just perhaps drinking coffee all day and pretending to do deals) and ladies who lunch, merrily flicking their hair and wearing large sunglasses. (I soooooo want to be a lady who lunches )

I was thinking it could be set in Brighton, and could be called SOUTH BEACH.

Kyle; an 18 year old guy arrives in Brighton to meet a mystery man he met on the internet. However it turns out that the address he was given does not exist

Infact the mystery man he met on the net was Dylan; a 23 year old who he later falls in love with!

Even worce; the poor lad is mugged by 21 year old Danny [just released from prison] and all his money is stolen

Just one of the main storylines on the first episode! It would be great

Sounds like a gay version of Sunset Beach.

As long as it isnt Crossroads and doesnt have Yvon Grace involved at all, then maybe. Trouble is America is a glamorous country where as the UK, well isnt. Where would it be set? Brighton?? It's OK but hardly glamour central, and most people in the UK don't live in huge houses. The American people love their glamour and celebrity, but the Brits still tend to like realism, alot of people dont want to watch the rich fools drinking, eating, shag*ing, oh wait a minute yes we do .

Seriously though it could work but I cant see an TV channel who would take a risk on it except maybe Five and then nobody would see it!
