THE NORTH RIDING PROJECT

Falcon Falls was a soap opera that ran on the short-lived F!TV station in the mid-1990s.  Each episode was filmed just two weeks before broadcast, with plot-lines altered according to audience reaction, and key characters routinely axed and reprieved.  Mainstays included property tycoon Royal Spears, who was shot dead on at least three occasions, and his alluring young rival, QT, played by it-girl Heather Moreland, who rebounded five days after being laid to rest in a lavish ceremony following a car crash, which it was subsequently revealed had been a dream.
