Wow, what a great theme tune, I enjoyed this show during it's 90's run!

I used to love Eldorado! Marcus - Jesse Birdsall. What a character! !

Wow more than 25 years ago now. Bring this ray of sunshine back into the drab grey existence we often live in...& drop Eastenders!

I think, in all honesty, the most beautiful theme tune and song I've ever heard. Just a shame the show didn't run longer.

I loved this cheery fun show - the theme was a breath of fresh air! As good as anything on at the time and since!

Omg all the feels.. this show was epic. Miss it still.

Take me back in a time machine. To the days that were Eldorado, miss those times watching the show in the evenings. Rekindle my childhood. Marcus, Pilar et al.

I cried when this ended..this beautiful song didn't help lol xx

This is the fabulous Mr Simon May, writer of some of the best theme tunes ever!

Loved Eldorado. Given more time it would have been enormously successful. Ahead of it's time really. This song is beautiful too.

I really miss Eldorado! Love the theme song! Never heard the lyrics before , beautiful!

I was pure gutted when this ended .I actually really liked this TV show.AND loved the tune.❤️❤️

oh the memories . bring it back please

Saved to my "The best TV show songs ever" playlist! Great!

Love this tune with lyrics. Miss the show. Should of been backed more by tv companies.

What a wonderful soap, I used to drift off relaxing on holiday 'a dream' sure but at the end of the day our dreams are free. This was great entertainment, we miss you!

Sandra Sandri, Julie Fernandez, Kathy Pitkin, Maria Sanchez, Bo Corre are so cute in the short-lived BBC 1 Soap Opera "Eldorado"

I love this full version of the theme song... should have used it on air with lyrics from the start.

this is when the soaps where happy

I loved Eldorado and its theme tune. Was really gutted and angry wen it was canned. Yentob is a first class tosser. 10 million viewers towards the end it was becoming huge and really good. Would of been massive by 1995 and maybe still running today. #bringbackeldorado

I miss this show terribly Viva forever Eldorado (1992-1993)

Oh wow I love this! Brings back so many memories!

I used to love Eldorado. Great show. I miss it.

oh how I miss Los Barcos ... and all its dramas xxxx

It certainly was over before it begun lol.with a theme tune like that it was never going to last.

An Eldorado return would work for a number of reasons, three being: 1) The sunshine set would appeal to British viewers, much more uplifting than the grimness of Albert Square. 2) We're in a recession and need some kind of escape, just like viewers in 1992 did because THEY too were in a recession... daydreaming of living abroad anyone? 3) Los Barcos would still be the setting but after 20 years you could easily replace the entire cast and bring in decent actors. BRING ELDORADO BACK!

Wow I remember my mum used to watch this

❤ Loved watching it

The 1st line of this Song are sooo ironic when you consider the fate of this show

Let's start campaigning to bring the show back. Thumbs Up

Bring back Eldorado!!

I can't explain why - but I love this song.

Revamp it and bring it back. If this were considered as rubbish, how has Eastenders survived for so long?

Loved Eldorado (1992-1993) love this song! My absolute favourite character was Isabelle Leduc

I loved the way the final episode tied up every single one of the loose ends - it was so funny, and full of bravado, thumbing its nose up at the critics. This soap was tat, but in a good way...

This is good.

This always reminded me of Charlene's 'I've Never Been to Me' (the chorus of that).

i loved this programme,the song and tune are the greatest ever on tv,some of the actors were brilliant like marcus tandy,pilar and drew but some were shocking(they even spoke in french with no subtitles!!),this was why it was cut,great shame

Beeb should have kept this one deffo!!!

This music is so 90s!

"Eldorado's only golden dreams." But if you want to help bring it back, join the Eldorado fb group.

Loved Olive King.

News is in today that the BBC are looking at reviving eldorado. What do you think? Should they bring the sunshine soap back? I would love to see itback.

Really looking back now then this is so much better than a lot of the series and soaps that are on now then-which really pale in comparison somehow too. Indeed, you could say that a lot of them are pure drivel really alas too! If Eldorado were still on today-oh well if only too of course-thank you though so then too!

This song sounds like it should be in a musical rather than a soap opera theme. Like it nonetheless

Waiting she is one of the best.

Loved Marcus Tandy ❤

Ingrid! 😍😍

It was over before it had began and often love can go that way And I don't blame you for your point of view You wanted freedom, I wanted you. But when you Go Away You gotta tell me where you're going to So I can dream, I'll see you once again Oh when you go away, I wanna hear you say "I'm with you" and I won't mind, When you go away

My father-in-Law James Todesco was one of the Producers on it in Spain. The set is still there just outside Coin...

I remember this Javier was hot as fukk.

You showed me places I've never seen before Altough I've often pass their door And If I had the chance to live me life again I know for sure I'd do the same And when you Go Away You gotta tell me where you're going to So I can share your El Dorado dreams The Music is calling you, its taken up your soul and I can share that part with you And I don't blame you for your point of view You wanted freedom, I wanted you

The only soap I've ever liked. I joined the 'Save Eldorado Campaign'. It was getting 8 - 9 Million viewers towards the end. Very respectable. If I won a double roll-over I'd probably produce a sequel. Marcus would be back and running a huge Magaluff style nightclub.... :-)

Loved this show after 4 months in it got reel good the BBC were idiots to cancel it.

the best thing about the soap was the theme song it was simon at its best

Great song. I had a massive young on Pilar.

All the young guys, not a beard in sight either, such good times all looked so clean then

@TimWil - i absolutely love the idea of crossing over Eastenders characters to help boost Eldorado's reputation.

Souvenir omg

And that glitters is never what it seems Cos El Dorado is only gone and dreams And when you Go Away You gotta tell me where you're going to So I can dream, I'll see you once again Oh when you go away (When you go away) I wanna hear you say that I'm with you and I won't mind when you go away cos' El dorado is only gone and dreams

The only way to bring back Eldorado if it's produced for another channel like Channel 5.

Fantastic theme song, the tv show started off dreadful but improved dramatically as time went on.

I liked the show and thought the theme was gorgeous. Friend of mine, Nick Prosser, Directed some of the episodes.

It was over before it had begun lol

...ahhhhh 😥

When you consider the BBC made a small city-set, it seems more mental.

I loved Eldarado and so did my mum quickly as a child it became one of my favourite shows. I hated when BBC gave into the papers drivel about Eldarado and cancelled it.

Loved it. Was saw as trash at the time but it was great stuff. Good feelings with this one

How many episodes/series were made? I remember it being a big hit at first then disappearing. I loved Ingrid & Pilar!

@terratec365 He is singing All good dreams is never what it seems.

spread the word thanks for replying. thumbs up!!!

i thought it was great! reminds me of my childhood hols to spain/ibiza

This has a nerdy sort of quality about it!!!!

If someone has the full instrumental version of this theme, please post it!!!

@luskentyreuk Saw it and joined up, should write soon on the forum! I loved thew show! Have met Julie Fernandez a couple of times too! Great lady and very sweet person. Nessa was my favourite character! Have a signed picture of her too!

Does anyone know where I can hear the instrumental version of this please.

Joke was at the end this soap was pulling in 10m viewers which the bbc would give its right arm for now, once they had got rid of the dead wood actors that where in it at the start and got some decent actors in this soap had potential, marcus tandy was a legend.

They never gave it a chance!

If only the BBC just hung on to this...

@0swprodutions0 Thanks for the video upload. I was wondering where can I download the theme to El Dorado because its terffic and TOTP along with the lyrics.

They should show this on Drama

Here's an interesting fact, there is a link between the profile pic of Norman Wisdom and Eldorado. William Lucas who played Stanley Webb played a gangster in Up in the world, i think it's called, where Norman is a window cleaner.

Tony Holland was not given adequate time to create high octane, legendary characters. If he'd been given a few more months to realise his actual vision, we would have had characters on this show on the same par as Den and Angie. Marcus Tandy came close.

I've got a load of Eldorado episodes on DVD, about half the whole series. One day.....

Please bring it back BBC, post Brexit era Brits living in Spain, it could be great

I cried when Joy was blown up in that car bomb

@bruin69 totally agree ,not a great show but it entertained us in a peculiar way.remember the lovely pilla.

FIZZ !!!!!!!!!

The bbc staff want it back would help if all you fans wrote in to the bbc to ask them to remake it

bring eldarado back and Albion market

Pilar was 🔥🔥🔥🔥

They should bring this back maybe introduce a few former Eastenders characters like Lisa Fowler? To improve its rep

Marcus Tandy!

Why did yentob drop this soap. Sure it had it problems but it had a long future. We missed out on something special after a new controller played god. Many actors and actresses have passed who would have made this soap the best. I keep the Eldaarado theme music as my phone ringtone. loved you Eldarado who no"s one day they might come to their senses ans bring you back.

would still be on today if the BBC had balls

Just as it was getting good - they dropped it! Such a shame - real sunshine from Spain that was dropped as Yentob had no balls.

@saustin591 Me to it was great when it started and it was great towards the end. Eldorado should come back it'd be better than corrie and enders. The bbc should starting thinking to bring it back.

A damaged show that was never aloud to change, casting errors and original script malnipulation has taught the BBC a very valuable lesson, this would never happen again.

bring it back 😎soaps in the son

@garymonc - Exactly; it just needed more time. It had already vastly improved by the time they cancelled it. I bet the BBC were kicking themselves two years later when Phil Redmond had dropped a plane on Beckindale and turned 'Emmerdale' into a genuine player. They could easily have built on those 8 million viewers.
