Nearly every soap has them, Prisoner, Neighbours, Sons and Daughters and even A Country Practice and Home and Away is no stranger to them.

A few examples are the shark attack in 1989 with the stock footage shark, Bobby's accident with the shots of the log and the music every time it was shown, Finn's magical journey into the carwash and the mine/bomb and the shots of it underwater.

Definitely the stock shark footage and the overly dramatic underscore with Fin in the car wash!  Made it out she was about to be rollered to death only for it to be a blatant scene for the guys.

Let's not forget the superb Sarah Lewis arc. As terrifying as it was at the time, upon reflection - some of the best episodes in the series' history - camp as all get out. And the three names attached to the three episodes from a story perspective - Bevan Lee, Dan Bennett & Jason Herbison... Three of the best in the soap biz!

That's true. Many of the biggest disasters/stunts have been completely camp, but equally edge-of-your-seat drama.

The time Alf bought a waterbed and had Shane and Damien install it in his room. It went the way any other waterbed story in a TV show goes...

Not camp, but the chopper crash and the show's desperation to become Lost in 2006 was bizarre.

Although it did dovetail into a decent exit storyline for Chris Hemsworth.

My Mum found Kirsty singing to Kane at their 2004 vow renewal particularly toe curling with the flashbacks.
