Taurus Rising is an Australian soap opera produced by the Reg Grundy Organisation for the Nine Network in 1982. Originally intended by the network to be a replacement for The Sullivans, the series was one of a number of attempts to provide an Australian alternative to the glossy American supersoaps Dallas and Dynasty and featured two wealthy Sydney-based feuding families, the Brents and the Drysdales. To this end, it represented something of a stylistic departure for Grundy's. Unlike most other Australian soap operas which were recorded on videotape, Taurus Rising was shot entirely on film. Series began at 8.30pm time-slot in a 2 hr movie pilot and continued for a couple of weeks on Tuesday nights due to decline in ratings was delegated to Friday nights at 10pm by the time of the TV series

TV series was never screened on Nine network since the original screening. It cost $2 million to make. Taurus Rising proved to be an expensive failure after it failed to win an audience and was cancelled after 21 episodes. The series did later prove popular in international markets and was subsequently sold to American cable television, marketed as a 21-part "miniseries". (en)
  • Il segno del toro (Taurus Rising) è una soap opera australiana in 21 puntate trasmesse per la prima volta nel 1982. Originariamente destinata ad essere un sostituto di I Sullivans (1976-1983, 1.114 puntate), è incentrata su due ricche famiglie antagoniste di Sydney, i Brent e i Drysdale. A queste si aggiungono altre due famiglie satelliti, i Blake e i Farrer. È una soap di stampo classico condita da gelosie e tradimenti. Fu annullata dopo 21 puntate. La soap è stata poi distribuita in alcuni mercati internazionali ed è stata successivamente venduta alla televisione via cavo americana, distribuita come una miniserie in 21 parti. (it)
