lucaspatrick Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Congrats to Home and Away. For the first time EVER, it has finished the ratings year as the No. 1 Australian Drama. And in a year where audience figures are down across the board, it is the ONLY Aus drama to have an audience increase from the previous year. By contrast, Neighbours finished 125,000 down on last year. 2004 1. McLeod's Daughters 2. Blue Heelers 3. Home and Away 4. All Saints 5. Neighbours 2005 1. Home and Away 2. All Saints 3. McLeod's Daughters 4. Blue Heelers 5. Neighbours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superboy_steven Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Thats good news. My apologies to all of the McLeod's fans, but I'm glad that Home and Away has managed to knock them off the top spot. I was outraged the other day, when I saw a magazine advert where McLeod's Daughters claimed they were the #1 Australian Drama. I reckon that Home and Away has a good chance of winning that category at the Logies in 06. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chatter box Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 I reckon that Home and Away has a good chance of winning that category at the Logies in 06. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think All Saints will win...Home and Away has been good, but in terms of quality and the consistently high standard of writing All Saints is streets ahead.

Pete4Leah Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 AWESOME! Congrats Home and Away.....truely deserved! One thing though, audience figures are down across the board....are you meaning that H&A's audience has dropped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 There are far more channels to choose from these days so unless its something really big its going to be rare for the viewing figures to be high. The numbers of people watching TV is about the same but they have a bigger choice. That's why networks go for a lot of cheap reality stuff as it gets standard viewing figures but is cheap to make and if they can sensationalise it, like they do with BB, they can make mega bucks from the advertising. Ten years ago viewing figures per programme were higher becase they only had a few channles to choose from. TV has been dumbed down by greater choice. I dont think it will hold Number 1 myself. I think its had its moment this year and will slip back to 2nd or 3rd. I think All Saints is much better and is much better written as a drama. As a sopa, and as mindless entertainment which i have on when cooking the tea it is doing well. lets not call it something it isnt. HAA is brilliant for what it is, a basic grade soap. High Drama it is not. They need an award for best Melodrama at the logies, HAA would win that easily! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furze-Forever Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 The only shows of those that I believe are shown here in the UK are Home & Away and Neighbours (obviously). I'm glad H&A is number 1, and though the British soaps over here are very popular, for some reason H&A does it for me everytime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
