LOVE the announcer's voice! SANTA BARBARA! WHERE FORTUNES RISE AND FALL!"

thought this was a cool promo, back from early 90s i guess promoting NBC soap SANTA BARBARA for british audiences.
The show was on ITV for a couple of years i think then shifted to Sky.

It had a wonderful cast including Marcy Walker and A Martinez as star crossed lovers Eden & Cruz, Nancy Lee Grahn as feminist lawyer Julia, Robin Mattson as scheming Gina and Louise Sorel as eccentric Augusta
.
god i just love this show's theme tune as well! SO UPBEAT. Its gotta be the quirkiest theme in history!

The show was rubbish but I do agree about the anouncers voice. He used to do the "This is Sky 1, a part of the British Sky Broadcasting Network" things that preceeded every show on Sky 1.

the show rocked. Wash your mouth out!

Santa Barbara is an unusual soap in that it was adored by critics and lauded for brilliance but had dismal ratings
