Gone in a Glamorous Puff of Glitter

Dallas, Dynasty, Falcon Crest, The Colbys - all those soaps from the 80s about rich families that hate each other's guts. In this day and age of Russian billionaires in London paying less tax than their Polish janitors, of credit crunches that leave some without a home and others with millions in their accounts, can't we agree to start making these types of shows again? (Or bring back the old ones?)
Now that London has overtaken New York as the capital of the world, I think we should have a show filmed here, based on a powerful family that owns Canary Wharf, deals with dodgy mafiosos from Europe, lives fast, dies young and wears a lot of bonker outfits from Vivienne Westwood. None of this Eastenders or Emmerdale garbage; a show that will need half of the BBC's budget to get off the ground and will generate more talk and viewers than a future appearance of Michael Jackson in the X Factor.
Suggestions for a name to the show are welcome.
