Lunchtime Showing Changes

I like the nice, sunny, happy, cheesy :rolleyes: advert for it with everyone running round shouting "We're going to Five". I might start watching again, I used to watch...ooh, so long ago I can actually remember Kylie (as a car mechanic or something and with mad hair) and Jason dating :o !!!

They're taking a chance tho, giving it the same timeslot as the hugely popular Emmerdale . Still, I've never really watched Emmerdale so I'll try and tune in. :)

But the 7pm showing that clashes with Emmerdale is a 3rd repeat on Five Life. I'm sure most will watch at either 1.45pm & 5.30pm.

Watched it tonight to see what all the fuss was about and wasn't impressed.

Everything just seems a little "loose" in terms of its presentation. It reminded me of an Australian Hollyoaks.

In their defence though - I love the new title sequence - and I've always loved the theme tune (and I remain sorely disappointed at H&A's decision to remove it) and it's good they've "sexed it up" without completely ditching the one constant (the actual composition itself, the actual song -rather than any of the many arrangements of it!) in a consistently-changing brand (which is where I think that H&A have totally dropped the ball.)

Neighbours however remains Top Dog in the UK - however, now that the playing field is quite literally leveled against Homers, with time I reckon we could see some interesting results - both programmes now have everything to play for in terms of the UK market.

The irony though of course is that Home & Away is now closer to Australia than Neighbours is as it makes its Five debut...

I got in too late to watch it and then fell asleep. :( I'll try again maybe tomorrow... :P
