Westerdeich
''Westerdeich'' is a German television series, based on the Belgian television series '' Wittekerke'', which, in turn, was a remake of the Australian soap opera, '' E Street''. ''E Street'' originally aired from 1989 to 1993 on Network Ten, a commercial TV network in Australia, and was created by Forrest Redlich. In English, ''Westerdeich'' literally means ''West-dike'' - but a more accurate translation would probably be ''Westside'' - this is also the name of the district in which the original series, ''E Street'', was set. The serial ran on the TV channel RTL from 29 January 1995, and was always shown weekly on Sunday evenings. There was one season containing 37 episodes. ''Westerdeich'' was the second Australian soap opera to be re-formatted for a European audience by RTL. The first was in 1992; the Grundy Organisation soap opera, ''The Restless Years'' (1977–81), was remade as ''Gute Zeiten, Schlechte Zeiten'' (''Good Times, Bad Times''), and this series is still runnin ...

E Street (television Show)
''E Street'' is an Australian television soap opera created by Forrest Redlich and produced by his production company, Westside Television Productions, for Network Ten. It was broadcast twice weekly, from Wednesday, 24 January 1989 to Thursday, 20 May 1993. The series won several Logie awards. ''E Street'' is short for Eden Street, which is based in a tough fictional inner-city district called ''Westside.'' The action of the soap opera revolves around the local community. The soap opera, '' Richmond Hill'', which was produced by the Grundy Organization, was cancelled by Network Ten to make way for ''E Street''. ''E Street'' initially rated poorly in Australia, but early audience research indicated that it had attracted both a significant proportion of the 14–35 audience demographic and a large male viewership. After a radical overhaul of the show, revised storylines and updated characters targeting the niche demographics, the ratings steadily climbed. ''E Street'' ran fo ...

The programme concerns the lives of a fictional neighborhood in Germany's capital city Berlin. Over the years the soap opera tends to have an overhaul of young people in their late teens and early twenties, targeting a young viewership. Based on the Australian format ''The Restless Years'', which first was successfully adapted in the Netherlands as ''Goede tijden, slechte tijden'', the German version took the scripts of the first 230 episodes, even though heavily rewritten, from the original. After the first year, ''Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten'' started using original material. The programme started off with low ratings and was panned by critics. However the network believed in the success of the show and by the autumn of 1993, a serial killer storyline helped to improve the ratings, making ''GZSZ'' a success ...
