Home and Away Tour

H&A started showing episodes in the UK in Feb 1989. I think on 17th January 1988 when it began in Australia, I doubt for the first few months of its Australian showing it was ever heard of in the UK. I think it was September 1988 when ITV said it would start showing H&A in the New Year in the UK.

17 Jan 1988, the Australian first ever episode was a Sunday so the next episode of Corrie was 18 Jan 1988, and Emmerdale and EastEnders was on Tuesday 19th Jan 1988, and to think they were the first episodes of the 3 main UK soaps which ran contemporary with H&A when it was running in Australia.
