That's just what i was thinking. That was truly awful with only 100 episodes made. Also they missed out Albion Market

@@simonwarner6594 - Oh yeah, Albion Market, I’d forgotten about that one!

It’s a Top 10, not a bottom 10.

@@Ian_Livesey - Good point!😆

Thats more of a Euro soap than British

I was trying to remember that one featuring a young Idris Elba!

It’s a Top 10. So Eldorado wouldn’t be on it.

What about The Bill? Eldorado and Family Affairs were shortlived compared to The Bill's 25 years.

@@Tvjunkieful12 not really a soap though, it just turned into one by the mid 2000s 🤣

@@MusicalPenguin127 What is a soap? The name was born in the U.S. in the 1950s, after the product most advertized in the daily dramas airing in the daytime, and made for housewives to watch while their husbands were working and children either were in school or having a nap. But a more precise description is a daily drama shot primarily at a fixed set, and by teams of cast and crew which alternate between the various sets, and between having time off. Unlike ordinary dramas were mostly only interior scenes are shot in a studio, exterior shots - and even some interior ones - are shot on various locations. Soaps also shoot on locations. But mostly are centered around their fixed sets for both interior and exterior scenes. Since The Bill, just like Corrie, Eastenders, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks, Holby City and more, had a fixed set for most of it's scenes - even though the was dressed to appear as a police station, not a neighborhood - and the shooting also alternated between teams of crew, named after colors (red, green and blue as I recall), I think it is accurate, Holby City being in this list, to say The Bill should have been so too.

I agree most soaps are shot in the studio but there are two exceptions namely Brookside and Take the High Road which were mostly filmed on location.

I loved it too. My mom and I watched it together here in Ireland.

I thought everyone knew of Crossroads and Brookie.

me neither 🤗

Me too

Yeah it is

@@TCCGRACE777 Holby was a serial drama that wasn’t on TV all year round. Soaps are continuous all year.

@@SarahPinksparklelips ok

I watched it all with my mom. I was surprised when it got cancelled so soon. But then again I was one of the idiots who watched night and day on itv. Kylie Minogue sang the theme tune. It was good but then descended into the weird. It went from twice a week I think 5.30pm itv and an omnibus once a week late night with parts that could not be seen at 5.30pm to a just once a week hour long one night a week.

_Neighbours_ definitely doesn't 'cause it's Australian.

Well Neighbours is still going on for now and Waterloo Road isn't a soap opera and its coming back

Waggoner’s Walk.

London's burning heartbeat Emergency ward 10 ect

Its now back on amazon

Not really

Who hasnt read the title of this video . It's soaps THAT HAVE BEEN CANCELLED . As far as i know corrie is still running.

I have been saying that for years. I get inside soap and from that you see every year there is a serial killer and marriages ending every early and five minutes later one or both parties in the sack with someone new. Try hard gangsters in it too.

Heartbeat is good, but I don't think it's concidered a soap opera

Those are not soaps

@@SayberV1 the bill was

@@redstephenpearce5597 No it wasn't. It didn't run non stop like soaps do, it had season breaks.

@@SayberV1 soaps don’t have to run every day

@matt 😂😂😂😂😂😂H HHA HA HA HA HA I get it matt.

The bill was classed as a drama not a soap.

@@thebigloc1 It sure was Ros Narun L 'O Connell ! I used to watch the bill and was upset when ITV axed the show, however I agree with Trudie Goodwin (who played PC / Sergeant June Ackland) when she said in an interview that ITV bosses kept messing around with the show which caused its cancellation, as I noticed how in the show's final years the producers kept revamping the theme music and the opening sequence all the time and changing the programme's timeslot. No wonder she left the show three years before it was cancelled!

The baby was so cute, but it was upsetting killing baby Daniel Sullivan off in brookside what the hell were the writers thinking and brookside. I would never be interested to watch.

That’s still on tv
