H&A Over Xmas in the UK

[freakybuffy]

Ok, I've done a search and couldn't find anything!

Home and Away will be taking a break on Five this Christmas, with the show not being shown between 24th December - 1st January. The show returns to its usual slot on 2nd January 2008, with episode 4518.

This revised schedule, with H&A being taken off for an extra 2 days, means that the Five episodes finally correspond once again to the Australian episode order i.e. Friday episodes being shown on a Friday in the UK.

The Early Years episodes currently showing on Five Life will also be taking a break, with the last episode airing on 21st December. It's currently unknown when they will return, with them continuing to be off the air until at least 4th January, however it's most probable that they will return on 7th January 2008.

However to make up for the break, Five Life will be showing a selection of special episodes throughout the Christmas Period.

Provisionally titled 'Home and Away: Our Favourite Bits', the specials promise to give people the perfect opportunity to relax and soak up the sun this Christmas. The content of the episodes is currently unknown, however the schedules are currently as follows:

Wednesday 26th December (Boxing Day

14:00 - 19:00

Sunday 30th December

14:00 - 20:00

Tuesday 1st January (New Years Day)

13:00 - 18:00

Obviously there is a strong chance that these schedules will change, and we hope to bring you further information nearer to the time.

I've just wondering if we know anymore information? As I've looked on the tv listings for channel 5 and nothing is said so far!

and if they are on what sort of episodes you'd like to see?

I'd like to see, make up's and break up of the most popular freindships and relationships. Or maybe deaths but I can't see them doing that this time of year!

I think its just going to be a general collection of good episodes, so we'll probably see a mix of deaths disasters and hopefully 'happy' episodes like the 2004 finale or 4000th episode

No, they never even appeared in the tv listings. It seems the idea was dropped - nice of them to tell us!
