Another break from the bay

After airing episodes every weekday without fail since 2001, Five didn’st air an episode of Home and Away on last week’ss Bank Holiday Monday. Fans speculated whether it was a one-off move to bring the Five Life episodes in line with the Australian episodes, or whether it would become a regular occurence to prevent us from catching up with the Australian episodes.

Well, it seems we have our explanation. There is no episode of Home and Away on Five (so presumably no episode on Five Life either) on Monday 28th May.

It certainly seems like fans will have to get used to these short breaks from their favourite soap, as Five ensure they don’st get too close to the Australian broadcasts. When Home and Away aired on ITV, the channel once stopped airing the show on Fridays to prevent themselves from catching up with Australia.
