It now boasts 50 regulars and a faster pace than any other soap, but can you believe that Hollyoaks once focused on the adventures of only seven main characters?
Launching on Channel 4 in October 1995 with just one episode per week, Hollyoaks gradually earned a place in viewers' hearts as it followed the tangled lives and torrid loves of Kurt, Jambo, Louise, Maddie, Natasha, Dawn and Tony. So where are Chester's magnificent seven now?

A Dutch documentary titled, Stayin’ Alive In Joburg.
Courtesy of the Africa Is A Country blog…
“The film is limited in its focus–its primarily a walk through inner city Johannesburg and we get no sense of life in its richer, and whiter, northern suburbs ahead of the 2010 World Cup. But it is definitely a must see and a thousand times better than the hysterical nonsense published on the World Cup in the British media, whether R W Johnson’s rants about witchcraft in the London Review of Books, journalists confusing Cabinda with South Africa, the nonsense reported on Channel 4 or Louise Taylor’s fictions on the The Guardian’s website.”
Watch the 60-minute documentary below, broken up into 6 parts.
