Back to the Bay at Christmas

In lieu of Home and Away being shown in the UK over the Christmas period, Fiver will be showing a selection of episodes showing some of the best character returns to the bay – suitably named ‘sBack to the Bay’s. Each episode will be shown 3 times in one day, giving you plenty of opportunities to see the episodes in question!
