c120701 Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Are we going to get the variations in the credits or not? I hope not. Shouldn't they have started by now?
James Martin Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 The varations, if the international markets have them, begin on Monday. If we get the episodes "butchered", for the next week you'll see the recap, followed by the waves shot, into the new episode. After the first two scenes you then have the title sequence (yes, parked in the middle of the episode!!!!) followed by the rest of the episode. Other variations include the recap after the credits, and most notably - and as is still going on in Australia - no credits whatsoever, just a recap, a H&A bumper, then the show. And it's crap. Hopefully Five will edit them back in. As I've said before, I wouldn't be bothered if they cut 30 seconds out of each episode to fit them in - the next six weeks of Home & Away is p*ss poor attempts to get one over on Big Brother Australia at best.
James Martin Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 Bad news peeps. Analysing Five's sneak previews, it would appear that we too will be losing the title sequence. Bugger.
Liz Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 Oh, that is a shame. The title sequence 'makes' H&A for me. The Aussie soaps are set aside from UK soaps by the titles and although they're cheesy, they're nice.
MargaretB Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 Sorry, I am lost. Is it the opening titles going or the closing credits? If you remember, C4 did away with the closing credits and we only saw them again once C5 started showing H&A. I would miss the opening titles but not the closing credits.
summer_bay_rules Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 I don't mind losing the titles if it means more home and away! They are really annoying anyway because you just want to find out what happens, not look at the titles.
JWAPRIL1989 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 I remember an article posted on BTTB a while back which stated the changes weren't permenant... Jonnie

Home and Away has opening credits as they 'credit' people, rather than opening titles like programmes such as EastEnders or Neighbours does. When did Channel 4 show Home and Away?
Marc EH Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 Not long to go then as the credits start to disappear or move from this Friday 27th October... No credits on tonight's Five Life episode.
