7 Numara (Yedi Numara)

Created by Oya Yüce, Yedi Numara (Number Seven) ran on TRT 1 for three seasons from October 9, 2000 to June 23, 2003, as a Turkish youth comedy and sitcom largely confined to one home. It was meant to end with episode 75 in June 2002, but heavy requests to TRT led to a decision to continue, and it ended with episode 92. It ranked near the top of the ratings and, repeated often through the 2000s, became one of the most replayed series in Turkish TV history.

The story takes place in Istanbul. Four friends who study at the same university, with families in other cities, rent the upper floor of the wooden house owned by Vahit and Zeliha Ballıoğlu, a couple with no children. When Vahit's relatives from the countryside settle downstairs, the clashes begin, yet the young people gradually grow close and find they differ less than they seem. Later episodes add Sabit Ballıoğlu, Yusuf Güdük and others. Şebnem Sönmez, Engin Alkan, Tuba Erdem and Okan Selvi lead, with Ayça Mutlugil, Nuray Uslu, Gülden Güney and Volkan Girgin.

The first 13 episodes were shot in a two-story wooden house in Kandilli, Üsküdar; from episode 14 the production moved to a four-story building in Arnavutköy, Beşiktaş. Some exteriors were shot around Beşiktaş.
