A rather fanciful view of a soap star from one the worst soaps ever made. Those of us old enough to remember will surely be reminded of the dreadful sets, shaky scenery, appallingly bad acting and timing, ridiculous plots, stereotypical characters (remember Carlos the hot headed Spanish chef), and the overwhelming presence of Meg Richardson providing a moral compass (in her view) or (as many of the rest of us thought) sanctimonious nonsense. It was no accident that the series was screened around tea-time (I seem to remember), as a significant number of its audience were children, so parents could keep the children quiet over tea. It did have a child like quality, or perhaps I really mean infantile. The series was pretty much universally hated by television critics. Gordon herself came across as a prima donna in the media of the day, and the "relationship" with Larry Grayson amused many people in its incongruity. Gordon did have admirers as well as distractors, but her fame quickly faded after her death.
