''E Street'' was an Australia n Television Soap Opera created by Forrest Redlich and produced by the Ten Network from 1989 to 1993 . Whereas '' Neighbours '' was set in a suburb, '' Home And Away '' took place in a seaside town, and '' Richmond Hill '' a semi-rural community, ''E Street'' was set in a tough inner-city district called Westside and stories revolved around the potted community there. What started out as a more gritty, urban soap than its contemporaries, became an increasingly wild, exaggerated series, as ''E Street'' began to incorporate more outlandish storylines involving bomb explosions, serial killers, drug abuse, and gangsters. Several music videos and musical performances were incorporated into episodes to promote music released on the offshoot ''Westside Records'' music label. The moderately successful and sedately-paced serial ''Richmond Hill'' had been cancelled by Ten to make way for ''E Street''. ''E Street'' initially rated somewhat lower than ''Richmond Hill'' but audience research indicated that it attracted a significant proportion of the 14-35 audience and a large male viewership - a demographic highly prized by advertisers. Later, with the racier storylines, the ratings climbed, eventually eclipsing the figures that ''Richmond Hill'' had attracted. ''E Street'' ran for 404 one-hour episodes. Like many Australian soap operas before it, ''E Street'' was broadcast as two one-hour episodes each week. Until the premiere of '' HeadLand '' in November 2005, it had been the last Australian soap opera to screen its episodes in this format. In the UK Sky Television Plc aired the programme in a 30 minute format stripped Mondays to Fridays at 6.30pm. CAST
