Moving Wallpaper Will Return But What About Echo Beach?
February 25, 2008 – 6:14 pm
ITV have revealed that it intends to commission a second series of Moving Wallpaper, it’s Friday night behind-the-scenes sitcom.
But it’s not such good news for Echo Beach, the actual soap affiliated with the comedy. A Source told The Sun:
“Moving Wallpaper is returning. We made the call to Kudos Productions on Saturday after reading TV Biz. But we’re not sure what will happen to Echo Beach. It will either have a few episodes or run on the internet.”
I have watched most episodes of most shows, and like many others I much preferred Moving Wallpaper. I loved Jonathan Pope’s cutting wit, coupled with his absolute stupidity. Echo Beach should have been brilliant. It had a cast containing some very seasoned and talented actors, the involvement of Jason Donovan, Martine McCutcheon and Johnny Briggs should have guaranteed it more success than it acheived.

And snooping through actors trailers doesn’t go down well with the ‘turns’, especially as they discover that Hugo Speer has embarrassingly tiny feet.
The team realise that Sam’s got soap fever after they watch some shocking rushes, including Daniel Marrack wasting Jimmy with a machine gun. Nancy tells Jonathan that Sam needs to be isolated otherwise her madness could spread. Read More »
