“..you can hardly bear to wait for the next couple of episodes” The
Telegraph
Moving Wallpaper and Echo Beach have all the hooking power of a
glamorous, angst ridden soap opera with the intriguing addition of a
mischievous mockumentary which gives a cynical behind the scenes
view of the hilarious antics of the soap’s production team. Both
shows havew been created by Tony Jordan, lead writer and former
story consultant for EastEnders, co-creator of Life on Mars and
creator of Hustle.
“It’s borderline genius” Evening Standard
In Moving Wallpaper we meet Jonathan Pope (Ben Miller – Armstrong
And Miller, Primeval, The Worst Week), a man on a mission. That
mission is to make the most talked about post-watershed soap opera –
Echo Beach - in Britain. But when your boss hates you, the writers
despair of you and the entire cast and crew think you’re a prat,
that mission is bound to be a fraught one… Ben Miller is joined by
Raquel Cassidy (Party Animals, Lead Balloon), James Lance (Teachers,
Sensitive Skin), Sarah Hadland (Saxondale, Peep Show), Elizabeth
Berrington (The Dinner Party, The Office), Lucy Liemann (The IT
Crowd), Dave Lamb (The Smoking Room) and Sinead Keenan (Trouble with
Sex) and Susie Amy (Footballer’s Wives, Hotel Babylon) who appears
in both Moving Wallpaper and Echo Beach.
“A brilliant bold concept” The People
In Echo Beach Hugo Speer (Bleak House, The Full Monty) plays Mark
Penwarden, who will stop at nothing to run his wife Susan’s (Martine
McCutcheon – Love Actually, Eastenders) ex-lover Daniel Marrack
(Jason Donovan – Neighbours, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour
Dreamcoat) out of the Cornish surfing town Polnarren. Echo Beach
also stars some of the UK’s hottest young talent – Ed Speleers (Eragon),
Marcus Patrick (Hollyoaks), Laura Greenwood (Prime Suspect 7),
Christian Cook (Where The Heart Is), Jonathan Readwin (Robin Hood),
Naomi Ryan (Dream Team) Chandeep Uppal (Anita and Me) and newcomer
Hannah Lederer-Alton.
“Let’s hear it for the Echo” Sunday Mirror
Packed with twists and turns and wonderful comedy and soap opera
moments, the DVD format offers the perfect way to get the most out
of these two groundbreaking television series – by watching them
over, and over again!
