1988 Set 3

First Episode: 94 (26th May 1988)
Last Episode: 160 (26th August 1988)

Additions: Roo, Matt, Martin, Lance, Fisher, Celia

Set 3 saw a number of established cast members being added to the opening credits for the first time. These included 3 new shots of Roo Stewart & Matt Wilson, Martin Dibble & Lance Smart, and Donald Fisher & Celia Stewart. In order to make room for the new shots, the previous filler shots of a pelican, surfers and seagulls were removed. Unusually, instead of footage being specially filmed for Martin & Lance’s credit shot, footage was recycled from their first scene in the Pilot episode.

It has been known for the show to have some in-jokes with its credits, occasionally substituting a credit shot with an alternate one. The first instance of this occured with Fisher and Celia’s shot, where normally she would walk in from the right hand side, peer over his shoulder to read his mail, and get caught doing so. In the alternate shot, Celia would not appear and Fisher would look over his shoulder to see where she is, at which point she would sneak in from the left hand side of the screen.

This shot aired for the first time in Episode 111 (Monday 20th June 1988), with subsequent appearances in Episodes: 119, 131, 155, 186 and 201
