À presque 30 ans, Shaun ne fait pas grand-chose de sa vie. Entre l'appart qu'il partage avec ses potes et le temps qu'il passe avec eux au pub, Liz, sa petite amie, n'a pas beaucoup de place. Elle qui voudrait que Shaun s'engage, ne supporte plus de le voir traîner. Excédée par ses vaines promesses et son incapacité à se consacrer un peu à leur couple, Liz décide de rompre. Shaun est décidé à tout réparer, et tant pis si les zombies déferlent sur Londres, tant pis si la ville devient un véritable enfer. Retranché dans son pub préféré, le temps est venu pour lui de montrer enfin de quoi il est capable…

Two women navigate the challenges of life on a wintry day in 1980s Belfast. While Ruby has a cold and gets caught in the rain, Iris is job-hunting but feels lost in the traffic.

Eldorado was a British soap opera that ran for only one year, from 6 July 1992 to 9 July 1993. Set in the fictional town of Los Barcos on the Costa del Sol in Spain and based around the lives of British and European expats, the BBC hoped it would be as successful as EastEnders and replicate some of the sunshine and glamour of imported Australian soaps such as Home and Away and Neighbours. A co-production between the BBC and independent production company Cinema Verity, Eldorado aired three times a week in a high-profile evening slot on the mainstream channel BBC1, filling the slot vacated by Terry Wogan's chat show Wogan, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.00pm. In spite of a high-profile advertising campaign on television, radio and in the press preceding the launch, the programme was not initially a popular hit with viewers and critics. Ratings improved with a radical overhaul, but it was eventually cancelled by the new controller of BBC1, Alan Yentob.
