Home & Away

Home and Away is definietly one of my favourite tv shows. It is just so trashy and typical of autralian soaps that it is just so enjoyable to watch and to take your mind of the real world for 25minutes! Home and Away (H&A) is shown on channel 5 at 6pm every weekday, and then repeated the following lunch time at 12:30pm. It also has an omubious on staurday mornings, so if you ever miss an episode at least you can pratically guarentee you'll catch up with it at some time in your busy life scedule. I personally like H&A as it is very much based around the lives of the teenage chacracters in the cast and this makes it more fun to watch without ...  Read the complete review

I confess to being a Home and Away addict, there I've admitted it! I've watched it on and off since it first hit our screens in the UK. I can remember when Danni Minogue was in it. It's the sort of programme you can not watch for ages and it will only take a couple of episodes or until the commercial break for those who are really clever, to catch up with it. I've started watching it again in the last year, it's a good thing to watch when I come home from work because it relaxes me. It's on Channel 5 on weekdays at 6 and repeated at 12.30 there is an omnibus on Saturday afternoons at 2.55. An episodes usually lasts for about 25 minutes. ...  Read the complete review

What has happened to Home and Away? It used to be quality viewing, I used to look forward to getting in from school to see what was going on in Summer Bay. Now I just switch over when it comes on. When Home and Away swopped channels last year (it used to be on ITV1, now its on channel 5), the whole program changed with it. Not only did the quality of acting decrease, but so did the pace of the storylines. In the old days, storylines would last longer periods than a few days, but now if you miss an episode, you dont know what the hell is going on. What Home and Away needs is some more good actors/actresses like Pippa and Ailsa(Now they COULD act!). ...  Read the complete review

I'm not a huge soap junkie, but I do try to catch the Aussie duo of Neighbours and Home and Away quite regularly. It's interesting to see the jostling for position between them - in Oz, H&A is way out in front, but here - thanks to its BBC1 slot as against H&A's crackly Channel 5 - Neighbours crushes it in the ratings. What worries me about Home & Away is that the show's producers really don't seem to know what they want from the soap. There are really two roads to go down - the Neighbours route, with a light-hearted tone and lots of silly humour, or the grittier Brookside path, with people being bumped off left right and centre. H&A seems to ...  Read the complete review

I remember the first time Home and Away hit our screens in the eighties, I think the opening scene was a scrap between Bobby(she was ace!) and one of the other Summer Bay Schoolies! I was always a bit of a "soapaholic" but I especially loved this one because I watched it from Day one! The first Pippa, who was married to Tom, actually had streaked blonde hair in a really eighties kinda perm style. It really surprised me when her replacement was darker haired, though the perm was the same! The Fletchers' (as they were in the start) household consisted of Carly, Lynne, Steven, Frank and Little Sally(who ain't that little any more!) ...  Read the complete review
