Back in the day, local soap E Street (Ten) was the third highest rating show in Australia, taking out the Logie Award for Most Popular Series in 1992.
Shot in the inner city Sydney suburb of Balmain and featuring a funky young cast, the series helped Ten stake a claim in the fickle but lucrative youth market.
Characters such as Reverend Bob, Mr Bad, Wheels and Bad Boy Sonny Bennett carried storylines along-side female cast members who broke out as real life pop stars (Toni Pearen, Melissa Tkautz) and production crew who would go on to win Oscars for their work on The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (costume designers Lizzy Gardiner and Tim Chappel).
Re-living those heady days, Andrew is joined by "Mr Bad" Vince Martin and "Jamie" Scott McRae.
