Het Oude Noorden (EastEnders Dutch Version)

Het Oude Noorden (Translation: Old North) is a Dutch version of EastEnders that was broadcast in 1993 on VARA.

Synopsis
Soap Opera which followed the everyday life of the inhabitants of the Rotterdam district of Old North. The inhabitants are of various kinds: the real "northerners" who have long been living for generations but also many foreigners who have now been integrated into the neighborhood. The story takes place in the homes and shops of Mayors Rose Square, where people encounter each other on a daily basis.

Oude Noorden is based on the British EastEnders set in the East End of London. The compositions and conditions of the population in the two districts would be similar. The Dutch series was not successful.

On the set the exterior of the buildings are built but the interiors are studio sets.
