James Martin Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 They probably won't. However, on the flip-side, I like the way they can go straight from one programme to another as a result by having both sets of breaks within the programme. I wouldn't be adverse to seeing this done over on Five, where I feel they're still having a problem keeping the Neighbours audience hooked on for Home & Away. What really pisses me off though is the glaring absence of Demand Five from Virgin Media. When iPlayer, ITV Net Player and 4oD are all on there, it feels like a bit of an own goal.
Red Ranger 1 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 I really hope they don't do it on Channel 5(and thankfully they can't at the moment).I actually find the switching between programmes rather off-putting, I'm having my spare moments at the wrong time, and it doesn't help if you only want to watch one programme.
simmins Posted June 27, 2010 Report Posted June 27, 2010 Im quite liking the two ad breaks during the half hour, which makes the show finish to the full hour, therefore not waiting a moment for the next show to be on, ie Neighbours at 7.
lizg12 Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 Just watched H&A & Neighbours on tonight on Fiver from 6:30pm (and 7:00pm for Neighbours) and I was surprised to see it had 2 ad breaks in between the episodes!!! For a 22 minute programme to have 2 ad breaks is a joke!! Its annoying! How long has this been going on for? How long until more and more channels adopt this approach? since it changed to five3r

Red Ranger 1 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Posted August 10, 2010 You know, I've noticed this week(and last week)that the 6.00 Home and Away episode on Fiver only has one ad break but the 6.30 episode has two.Weird.
alreetlike Posted August 10, 2010 Report Posted August 10, 2010 I noticed that while watching the first episode from yesterday this morning while I was getting ready for work. Headf*ck. It must've bypassed me for all of last week, though.
CougarCat Posted August 11, 2010 Report Posted August 11, 2010 Think yourselves lucky in the UK, in Australia we have ad breaks about every 5 minutes!
simmins Posted September 5, 2010 Report Posted September 5, 2010 Home and away first-llok should move to channel five
