The IMDb page seems to make no mention of the connection to its parent show Moving Wallpaper - so I'll do so here.
Echo Beach is a show within a show - it's the corny Cornish soap opera, the production of which Moving Wallpaper, a comedy drama, shows us.
If the lines are cheesy, if the characters are predictable, and if the show seems to be overtly grabbing for soap awards that's because it is meant to be exactly that! The inclusion of a token ethnic character, Narinda, and the selection of that pink dress are also shown in the first episode of Moving Wallpaper.
This show should be viewed in the same frame of mind as When The Whistle Blows within Extras - although we do at least get to see Echo Beach in isolation.
Great fun - we need more TV like this; different, fresh, inventive.
