I've not been getting very far with this... I think the problem is there's so much you could say it's hard to know what to include. All help appreciated!

Hello Cyz,

You could begin by describing the genre. Is it a 'soap opera', a drama, comedy, all of the above, etc?
When does the action take place; is it current time?
Are their familial, or just neighbourly relations between them? Dating of offspring, etc.
Are they all on good terms within the families and the neighbours?
Do the families have similar, or differentiated groups to which they belong; political parties, churches, organizations?
Do the breadwinners work together or have different careers and employers?
How many are in each household, and who are they individually?

Just a list of thought starters for you.

Thanks! I'll do some work on it along those lines

I've done more to it - it's really hard to write about something like this without automatically dating it by mentioning current characters/events... Do you think it needs a bit about notable past events? Or would that need updating too often?

What else should go in it?

Perhaps some production information about the show, rather than just essentially 'biographical' information.
who produces it?
where? - in a studio, on location etc etc
how long has it been running?
who owns the rights?
average viewing figures

The sort of information someone in the entertainment industry might look for, rather than someone who wants to be entertained.
