Twenty years after Sylvania Waters, a new generation of Britons is set to become acquainted with a slice of Australian life in the Sutherland Shire.
Channel Ten and the production company behind its new ''dramality'' series, The Shire, are marketing the program to British TV networks and opened discussions with Channel 5 - home to other exports Home and Away and Neighbours, which is now in its 26th year on British screens.
The Shire will manufacture scenarios for its cast in the hope that they will sate our appetite for voyeurism.
Matt Campbell, the managing director of the production company behind The Shire, Shine Australia, denied The Shire would damage Australia's image abroad.
