Celebrating 20 Years
20 years ago, the 17th of January 1988 to be exact, Home and Away first aired on Australian TV's Channel Seven. Twenty years later, 4560 episodes later, plus two straight-to-video episodes, the show is still with us, going from strength to strength. Whilst Alf and Sally still remain from the first show, 20 years ago, a remarkable feat of longevity in itself, there has been numerous characters that have got our interest during the past two decades. Some fans claim to have watched every episode, some have only watched a year. However, over the next month in particuarly and throughout the next year in general, we, at BTTB are going to do our best to pay tribute to the show that we all love. BTTB Team
