[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 443263, member: 23"] Same here. Oh, I hope you get round to the rest of [I]HW[/I] at some point. I'm quite rusty on the later episodes, and I think it's now over a decade since I last watched the entire series, but it's always good to see it get some love. Sounds like Irish TV was at least a little more consistent than the ITV network. I think the later years were stripped this way on most ITV franchises, though. According to Wikipedia, my region showed it 5 nights a week from 17:10-17:40, which surprised me as I think of the [I]Home and Away[/I] slot.
