Home And Away has finally taken out that elusive top spot in the Australian Television ratings. Thursday October 10th, the episode that aired was watched by an average of 1.33 million people across the country. It is a great achievement after many near misses with 2nd and 3rd placings. Let's hope there are many more of these great results.

Home and Away stars Holly Brisley (Amanda) and Kate Ritchie (Sally) will each host an episode of a new Seven Network show, titled Good as Gold.

Good as Gold will join Seven's Sunday night line-up starting October 15 at 7.30pm.

Each episode of Good as Gold takes the audience on a journey celebrating the most memorable moments in television's 50 year history - ranging from comedy to sport, bloopers, drama and entertainment.

The first episode, "Our Biggest Laughs" will be presented by comedic duo Mikey Robins and Jo Stanley on October 15.

Former Weakest Link host Cornelia Frances (Morag) is also confirmed as a special guest on the episode "Our Brightest Stars", to air on October 22nd. This episode, "Our Brightest Stars", featuring Cornelia, will be hosted by Larry Emdur and Holly Brisley. They take us through some of the most loved entertainment shows ever seen on Australian television.

Stay tuned to Back to the Bay, as more appearances by the Home and Away cast are still to be announced.
