James Martin Posted May 23, 2013 Report Posted May 23, 2013 Any details yet on when this is, and more importantly 5*'s plans? Last year's summer break was epic... looking forward to a similar anorak fest this year!
beau_t Posted May 23, 2013 Report Posted May 23, 2013 Any details yet on when this is, and more importantly 5*'s plans? Last year's summer break was epic... looking forward to a similar anorak fest this year! Oooh I hope so!
Pierced Musie Posted May 24, 2013 Report Posted May 24, 2013 Knowing 5* they have ditched any H&A specials in favour of anything Neighbours related . But I am crossing my fingers and hoping for some awesome-ness like last time.
Light of the Bay Posted May 24, 2013 Report Posted May 24, 2013 Oh god PM, don't say that! They do love Neighbours though... I doubt they'd scrap the 5* specials as the episodes rated quite well did they not?
alexx Posted May 24, 2013 Report Posted May 24, 2013 Couldn't they do both Neighbours and H&A specials?
Light of the Bay Posted May 24, 2013 Report Posted May 24, 2013 I'd like that but Channel 5 have never aired classic episodes of Neighbours.
Red Ranger 1 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Posted May 24, 2013 Whilst it would be nice to get some more classic repeats this August(although I have my doubts about whether it will happen, last year seemed like a one-off for the 25th year), personally I'd prefer to have a shorter break or none at all rather than end up about nine weeks behind Aus pace.
Light of the Bay Posted May 24, 2013 Report Posted May 24, 2013 Has anyone e-mailed C5? I'm tempted to do so - they usually reply to queries too!
James Martin Posted May 26, 2013 Report Posted May 26, 2013 Depends on whether the BBC still have the rights on pre-2008 episodes with Neighbours I assume, which C5 don't so readily take off-air during Summer. I wasn't bothered about how far behind From Day One put us - it was SO worth it! But it buffered us up quite nicely, though: despite a further three weeks off over Christmas, we're only a month behind Australia as things stand. Three weeks in August and a further three weeks over Christmas should keep things more-or-less in-sync without us falling miles behind like we did last year. We could actually get away with no Summer Break whatsoever but we would need to take longer off over Christmas, which isn't the preferred option this side of the Equator. I'd be quite happy for 2/3 weeks off if 5* laid on "themed" weeks of episodes, but from the entire archive. Hatches, Matches and Dispatches anyone? OK so the third week would be a bit depressing but an excuse to show off some epic acting... Certainly last Summer's run did pretty well for digital if I remember. The Pilot in particular did very well considering not only was it during the Olympics but half of it was up against Emmerdale and Corrie.
cadyctslover Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 Still no news about this. Do we even know when the break will start? Perhaps they just haven't announced anything yet, as it's still only late May.
