BRITISH expats are the inspiration for a brand new Spanish TV series.
The soap, being filmed by Antenna 3 on the Costa Blanca, will feature characters called ‘Margaret’ and ‘Susan’.
But it is not clear whether any British actors will be involved in the production, which will be aired only in Spanish.
The protagonist Margaret, is a Londoner who inherits a huge house in an inland part of the Alicante region.
After deciding to move to Spain a series of mysteries unravel.
Let us pray that the satellite signal fades even more.
My money is on a load of racist stereotypes for cheap laughs, like Manuel in Faulty Towers, but not as well written.

There probably will be racist stereotypes, but this time, they will be Brit nit-wits. This is a Spanish project.
Probably the biggest mystery of all to unravel is how ‘Margaret’ will prevent her house being demolished by the Junta de Andalucia when they decide to revoke the apparently legal building licence… oh no, of course the Spanish are not likely to admit on national TV to the fact that that sort of thing is going on in inland Andalucia and especially Alicante at the moment are they…
