Hi, new on this.  Notice that someone says only  33 episodes left for 2005 if the finale is Novmeber 2005.  Can someone explain this.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

H&A runs in series in oz with 6 weeks between each one. The november finale is of the 2005 series, with the 2006 series starting in January. It will not effect the uk at all as we are too far behind at the moment.

Thanks for that. Glad to see it will not effect the UK.

First they change the lunchtime screening time and now they have a woman blocking half the screen signing? Whatever happened to subtitles?

Time to start writing them emails to channel 5

I done just that and got this reply from Channel 5.

Thank you for your recent e-mail regarding Home And Away.

We are afraid that open signing can't be switched off on digital terrestrial television. We are complying with a compulsory requirement of the Broadcasting Act and Ofcom to meet a specified quota of signed programmes and Home And Away falls into this category.

In the future it is hoped to transmit the signing separately, also known as closed signing, but the equipment and technology are not available at the moment.

The Five analogue transmission and the 6pm episode of Home And Away are clear of signing.
