Short Lists

It's a very short one, I suspect there is only one item on it: "US soap operas called after a hill in south east Essex"

PC, from Wiki: "The highest point of the county of Essex is Chrishall Common near the village of Langley, close to the Hertfordshire border, which reaches 482 feet [above sea level, presumably]"

More a hump than a hill, then; and so entirely suitable for a Soap Opera.

I was going to nominate Gants Hill 90210 and the Buckhurst Hillbillies.
BTW local cycling websites say there are no hills ,to speak of, in
Essex.

Famous hill that. In the Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera, The Sorcerer, JW Wells tells Lady Sangazure that they won't hit it off because he likes to "roll down One Tree Hill". She disagrees.

@Dearime, Based on the received wisdom, entirely suitable for Essex as well?

@MW, Reassuring to hear`that Essex does indeed have a high point. I'd always thought that opinions were divided on the matter.

UK soap operas sharing names with National Trust properties.
