The programme was originally launched in 1992 and quickly gained a loyal audience.
However, the broadcaster cancelled the show after it failed to reach the same heights as EastEnders.
Despite the soap only lasting a year, it remains popular among many BBC viewers.
Beloved BBC soap opera Eldorado to return 31 years after cancellation
Eldorado will return to our screens later this month (Monday, January 21) when digital station UKTV reruns the series on its U&Drama channel.
This isn’t the first time the show has been re-aired with reruns of Eldorado being screened in the late 1990s and early 2000s on UK Gold.
A number of episodes were also added to the defunct streaming site BritBox in 2021.
The popular soap opera follows the lives of British and European expats in the fictional Spanish town of Los Barcos on the Costa Eldorado.
