Didn't know where to post this but it's worth a look.  5 have been screening this.

I liked the old "movie style" trailers that aired in Australia in the 00s.  Especially the really OTT ones - "Someone won't survive the week!"  Turns out it's a random guestie.

Same 8-second song, but it looked like a new opening title, which was nice.

They are still showing it.  Saw it earlier this week.  It's great.

Not a credit but I love this promo.  Really miss some of the characters.

I wish Channel 5 would use these promos more.......and generic end credit promos like in Australia. I loved those dramatic 00s promos......so good. Anyone remember the one for Zoe? Will try and post it on here.

I loved this! Didn't realise Sophie could sing. Also thought it was kind of nice how they're all in-character and singing the song, kind of breaking the 4th wall.

Well it’s a popular song in Summer Bay, even Liam Murphy covered it.

The opening title card seems to have changed, not sure if it changes with each episode/block. It also seems a second or 2 longer.

Ok, so it starts tonight here in Australia. I'm bringing it up again as is the annual tradition. I'm of course hoping for full open titles, except I know that's unlikely. So, what's your thoughts as to what will happen. Maybe a new 8 second bumper with the End parts of the theme as we've seen since 2018, or maybe a 15 second theme, or even a 30 second version, or maybe a 1 minute version? I'm at least hoping for some fresh bumpers, though I'd love to see the various characters in the theme and have it be longer, even if only for Monday's or longer episodes or the first one back.
