Theres a rumour that classic episodes are going to be going out on My5 during the winter break. Can anyone Confirm? I cant find anything about it. Would be interesting as theyve not done this for a few years. 

I was just going to say that I'd seen that reported in this week's Inside Soap. Possibly similar to ITV putting a load of old episodes of Emmerdale up on the Hub for the 50th anniversary?

I have emailed C5 and asked about this. I will wait for their answer. It would perfect after the Autumn season finale and to tie us over until the Winter premiere

Incidentally, the Inside Soap announcement implied the show would be off air for six weeks (since they said that's how long the "classic episodes" would run for), which means it would return on Monday 2nd January.

Sounds about right then doesnt it! 

 

Interesting 'My5' strategy and not linear on 5star like in the past.

I have a sneaky suspicion that the show is going to go to My5 only. No linear broadcasts. Not too sure but it seems to be heading that way. And I hope not, because that's how they would get the show to sneak off into the night like Sam Holden on that boat!!

Im wondering if we might get weekly episode drops (this could be testing the waters) on my5 and then repeats on 5star. The show props 5star up from ratings point of view so I cant see it moving off there. 

 

All soaps in general need to adapt to a more streaming friendly format to survive and even have a chance at attracting newer audiences so I wouldnt be against it tbh. 

 

I think itvx launching and going for a Stream 1st strategy will change the landscape a bit. Other broadcasters will be watching on to see what happens with that.

I agree. The landscape is changing radically and has been for a long time and shows / broadcasters need to adapt. ITVX will be the one to watch.

Thanks Bri1231 for the info, and taking the time to contact channel 5 on our behalf.

It’s a while since I saw the pilot, looking forward to seeing some of those disasters again.
