I think that wouldn't be a bad idea. They can then air a one hour news show at 5pm and begin primetime shows at 6pm without interruption. Probably name the 5pm broadcast first at five, Neighbours at 6pm followed by Home and Away at 6.30pm. Only issue there is then the show will go out directly against Hollyoaks. But in this day and age of on demand and PVRs does that make much of a difference? I never watch Home and Away at 6pm. I record it and watch at 7pm.

Very true. It does pull in the ratings and also it pays five more to air it there as there are two commercial breaks equals more bang for their buck. Haha, got one of those old CRT TVs up there with a coat hanger for an ariel? ?

Oh if only 5 star was in HD! I didn't even think about that, now they are in the correct airing blocks. Maybe it's more than possible they may want to keep it like that on 5 star now? I have to watch in HD though. So record a watch for me.

Maybe the might re sync during the Olympics break? I imagine the show will go off air in Australia for this so maybe Channel 5 may take the same opportunity and reduce episode numbers for 4 weeks to go back into the blocks and remain behind the Australian airings. To be fair Channel 7 have been out of sync for years now with their erratic schedule. For me it's not such an issue really as I tend to be at work when it airs for 3 days one week and 4 the next. So I always watch a double on Mondays then a triple on either Tuesdays or Thursdays which are my alternate week days off. So I will just make sure I keep them in sync via recordings.

Yeah, it's back Monday Jan 4th on C5. ?? Aaaaah I don't use FB but I can imagine the gap will close significantly. Good!! I still long for a season to be a season in the UK. All done in the same year.

Lol no rumours next year please. And yeah that was this year. Oh wait, I think lol. As I put in a post UK return date confirmed

Home and Away will return to UK screens on Monday January 4th at 6pm. Merry Christmas to everyone reading and here's to an amazing 2021 after a year none of us will forget. And here's to another year of our favourite drama

That's true they rarely make a big thing in regards to the actual finale for that reason. But Channel 5 have in the past mentioned before the episode, now on channel 5 Home and Away and this episode is the season opener and also changed the lead in and out of commercial breaks to the Home and Away title card. That only happened a few times though. Most notably in 2004 2010 and I think it was 2014 or 2015. The episode with the bomb at the hospital.

Yeah they did plan the Winter finale very well last year. Previous years it was just a random end of week episode with very little to make you go oh my god what happens next. In saying that, I still wish they wouldn't market it as the Season finale. But then I guess we all know it's not. I wonder how long it will be off air this year? Probably the regular six weeks but perhaps eight!

*Confirmed* by Channel 5. Episode 7440 airing on Friday November 20th will mark the last episode of the year for us UK viewers.

No worries. Me too, I thought they would make up those few weeks when the eps dropped to two per week and at least go into the end of the second or third week of December. What im annoyed about is why are they marketing this as the season finale? The season finale is as we all know a major cliffhanger and the weeks running to them are always big build ups. Oh I hate how channel 5 airs the show sometimes. But I guess we get to watch it. https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/home-and-away/a34600587/home-and-away-spoilers-dean-thompson-uk-season-finale/ As you can see. Why is this marketed as the season finale?

Hey all. It seems that, when you tie in Channel 5s 'Season Finale' not Winter Finale promo, the last episode for 2020 will air on Friday November 20th with episode 7440. Marketed this year as the season finale of Home and Away. Which, it is not.
