Plot

[edit]

Three siblings: oldest brother Rory, youngest brother Leo, and a middle sister named Ellen are sent to live with their selfish, greedy Aunt Vera in her boarding house, The Rimini House after the deaths of their parents.[3]

It premiered on 26 September 1992 and ran for 95 episodes over three series, ending in 1995.[4][5] Due to the show never receiving home media releases, the show is widely lost.[4]
