BBC One viewers have been left ‘gutted’ that there are no more episodes of a popular soap from the 1990s.

Designed to replicate the popularity of EastEnders, the show, тιтled Eldorado, first hit screens back in 1992.

Eldorado transported viewers to the fictional town of Los Barcos on the Costa Eldorado in Spain and followed predominantly British ex-pats in the area.

It featured Drew Lockhead (Campbell Morrison) and his family members Gwen (Patricia Brake) and Blair (Josh Nathan), as well as Jesse Birdsall as Marcus Tandy.

Much to the dismay of fans, Eldorado only aired between 1992 and 1993 and was axed after 156 episodes. 

Back in January, a rerun of the show aired on UKTV channel U&Drama 7 and captivated viewers all over again.

Many took to X to discuss the end of the series, with one writing: ‘The final sunset on Los Barcos! After 16 weeks on U&Drama. Eldorado has come to an end. 

‘My first viewing since it was originally broadcast over 30 years. Really enjoyed it. #Eldorado.’

Another gushed: ‘Los Barcos, I’m gonna miss you. The final ⅓ of the run was f****** fantastic television.’

While someone else penned: ‘Can’t believe there’s only 5 more episodes left, with new bosses series improved hugely to be than most of the other soaps. 

‘Why it was axed & not given longer, the cast clear out & more complex storylines really made it get better & better as time went on #Eldorado.’

One viewer commented: ‘I shall be gutted when it’s over.’

Eldorado’s cast featured future EastEnders actors including Derek Martin and Polly Perkins.

The soap’s launch had caused controversy at the time as it replaced Terry Wogan’s talk show, causing real bitterness.

The sunny soap did not completely go away following its axing, with repeats broadcast on UK Gold in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Eldorado is available to stream on UKTV Play.
