2025 Season - UK Episode Discussion

[James Martin]

Fair.  A lot of the providers are slowly moving customers off PVRs because advertisers understandably don't want the ad breaks skipped.  However, both Sky Stream and Glass carry 5 Star in HD.  I don't know about Virgin Stream, but that requires you to have Virgin broadband, so you might as well just get a 360 box.

I record the 1.30pm episode on 5 and watch it in the evening and  I still watch 101-105.  Is it definite Channel5 won't be showing H&A?  It says in my TM mags it'll be returning in January.  If it isn't returning  to 5 I can still record it anyway.

Hunt them down via "other means" and keep in step with UK airing.

Annoyingly had we stayed on air right through the holidays, we would have fallen into sync with Australia when they aired the season return.

The Streaming First thing would make more sense if we synced up with Australia.

It's never been like that though, perhaps TPTB here and in Aus had an  agreement we'd always be x amount of time behind.  I do remember we were only two weeks behind once upon a time.

As said before I'll record the 6pm one and watch it later.  Of course we, who only watch one episode at at time, will have to put up with those who watch both and put up spoilers.  

Btw no sight or sound of Buddy for months now.

Anyways MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all, keep well.

They don't even play his stock barking track anymore.

Watched a few episodes today and I guess it’s good that people are finding out about Theo in their own scenes but it’s still incredibly slow come on pick up the pace lol

im not sure Theo was the one who had Sonny’s back when they first met I’m sure Gage would’ve killed Theo then if Sonny hadn’t been there 

I don’t really feel that sad for Mac especially when she tries her best not to have anything to do with Levi is she mature enough for a baby that’s questionable but I’m guessing she’s going to have one in the end 

Talking of things dragging I didn’t really need to see Cash and Eden on honeymoon even though the giraffes were nice

Nice crew jolly to Taronga Zoo though.

Oh, sad news about Rachel Carpani passing so young.  Seems her recent role as Claudia Salini in H&A in 2024 was the last one she did.

Who was Claudia again?

Anyway not the best episodes to leave you feeling jolly for Christmas I don’t think 

I know Leah’s sad and everything but I do find her very one dimensional Lacey comes around cue Leah getting very loud
