James Martin Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Not sure if this is happening down under too, but Channel 5 want you to tell them what you love and hate about your favourite show. Don't hold back BTTBers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ter06 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 I clicked on the "I dont watch anymore" link, they asked why, I said and then got "we are looking for current viewers, no longer need your help!" Charming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light of the Bay Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 I have completed the survey but upon submitting my answers a window appeared on my computer screen saying "duplicate response". What does that mean? I hope I haven't lost all my answers! The survey took forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Ranger 1 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 ^That's strange, did you click on something twice?Or does someone else use your computer?I got an 'Answers Saved' message either just before or just after I clicked 'Submit'.Some surprisingly in depth questions on there, I'd have liked to have had time to think about some of them more but I was doing it during a commercial break.

Light of the Bay Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Yeah, I think I did actually. So my answers probably haven't been submitted. I hope they have been though as I spent a lot of time coming up with my answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadyctslover Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 That was a nice survey. As ever though, I worry the purpose of it was to monitor ways of viewing the show, not to read very carefully what we think about each character and their storylines. But I hope I'm wrong about that. For my favourite storyline I explained that it was a tough question as nothing I really enjoyed in the past 6 months sprang to mind! I also explained that I felt the show was no longer very adventurous with its storylines. However I really enjoyed Bianca's preeclampsia and post-natal depression, which I found very interesting. I also put that I really like her, Heath and Rocco as a happy little family unit now despite the fact it later turns out to be for diddly-squat. For my least favourite, (surprise surprise) I said that I really hadn't enjoyed the continued dominance of the Braxtons. Although it was good to see the return of Danny, they didn't use the opportunity to resolve the family issues but instead killed him off after a few weeks, leading into another murder trial. Three characters I'd miss the most were Marilyn, Alf and John. Three characters I'd miss the least were Brax, Charlie Natalie and Harvey. If I could bring back any character... I chose the easy option of Sally, although I honestly don't want that to happen until there's a Script Producer at the helm that knows their job is to write for 'Home and Away', and not 'Underbelly'. If I could change one thing.. again I explained that the show has misplaced the 'heart' and humour in its scripts, and that everyone is miserable.

Light of the Bay Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I hope that Channel 5 take seriously the feedback they get from viewers via this survey. I expect it will be mixed - some good feedback and some not so good feedback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan F Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 It's all very well Channel 5 doing the survey and getting the feedback which is a good thing, but when it comes down to it, they're not the ones responsible for making the show - yes they pay for most of it but they don't have an active involvement in the creative process. Unless they decide to take a bold stand, the most they can do is forward the comments to Seven which is where it's back to square one.... given that it doesn't appear to be a Seven initiative (with no such survey on the Oz site), whether they'll choose to do anything about any negative aspects of the feedback is a different matter.

alexx Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Maybe the producers over here have asked Channel Five to put the survey up on their behalf because they want to know what it is the UK audience like/dislike. I know that Neighbours producers in the past have stated that Australian audiences and UK audiences want different things from the show - maybe it's the same with H&A and the producers want to strike more of a balance?

alreetlike Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Well, I'll admit to not being very complimentary there. The show has declined for me and while I'll still continue to watch, I'd love to see some changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
