Ross Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 I emailed five about whether H&A will be shown on these channels and this is the reply: Dear Ross Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding the new Five Channels Five Life and Five US. Five Life will feature an extension of Five’s hugely popular pre-school strand Milkshake! as well as drama; films; soaps; popular factual and lifestyle programming skewed towards a female audience. Five US will be a channel that celebrates the best of American television. It will screen episodes of shows viewers already love – as well as premiering new ones. The channel will capture the authentic voice of America through quality drama, movies, and comedy. There will also be room for music shows, American sports and some great American documentaries. At present we are unable to confirm any further details. However, your request to see repeats of Home And Away have been logged in our Viewer Enquires Report for the attention of all relevant Five personnel. If there is anything further we can help you with, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you for your interest in Five. _______ From what he's said, nothing is confirmed, meaning it is a possibility. I'd love to see repeats from 2000 onwards.
Pierced Musie Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 It would also be fantastic if they also got the rights to Blue Heelers & Shortland Street. Make it an afternoon thing, like it used to be. I actually miss watching those on ITV
zozalina Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 Oh, thanks for that, Ross. Hopefully they will show old episodes because I only started watching at the start of this year and so I've not seen many past episodes.
Ross Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 I didn't know Blue Heelers used to be on ITV! When were they shown? I too used to love Shortland Street. I was so disappointed when it finished It seems to be a possibilty for old H&A to be shown on this channel; if FiveUS concentrates on US programming that means FiveLife will probably not have many, if any American shows. It says FiveLife will have soaps, and H&A being their main soap could be part of it! Unless its just the return of the omnibus or something?
Pierced Musie Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 It could be the omnibus on Saturdays, the repeats at lunch time and old episodes in the afternoon. Blue Heelers was shown at like... 1pm but it just disappeared off air and never came back. Am I the only one more interested in the US channel?

Yeh, the US channel looks good too because five have some good American shows, but we're all preoccupied with H&A to read the US one How many years ago was Blue Heelers on?
Pierced Musie Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 It was quite a few years ago. I think it stopped showing about 2001 perhaps before then. My interest in H&A has slowly burnt away but repeats will probably give me a boost
Toadflaxbex Posted July 28, 2006 Report Posted July 28, 2006 I was gutted when shortland street stopped, it would be fab if they brought that back
