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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will wait for their answer. It would perfect after the Autumn season finale and to tie us over until the Winter premiere Edited November 12, 2022 by Bri1231 Incorrect information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Ranger 1 Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
630si Posted November 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 Sounds about right then doesnt it! Interesting 'My5' strategy and not linear on 5star like in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!!

630si Posted November 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 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.

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.

Posy Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
