The best soap ever

Dream Team is Eastenders, but at the ground of a football team. Since it began in 1997, it has run for five series and the sixth is on it's way. It was made for Sky One and focuses on the on and off pitch antics of members of fictional Premiership side Harchester United and their friends, girlfriends and even wives. It is really good because it is really realistic, unlike Footballer's Wives, Dream Team employs real footballers to play the extras of the team, (Danny Husbands, Peter Mack...) and they have real football conslutants. In an average episode, they show some real game footage, doctored to have purple shirts for Harchester. Off the pitch the stories are realistic and the acting is superb, particularly Terry Kiely (Karl Fletcher) and Alison King (Lynda Block) Watch this show if you want to know how a football club works, or if you want to see that footballer's lives aren't all fame and fortune.....
