[QUOTE="AndyB2008, post: 375821, member: 26097"] Would agree ref the soap genre, hence why I mentioned Shortland Street earlier and the South African soaps. Sadly unlike Jason Herbison with Neighbours, Oliver Driver (the current producer) would have a hard time persuading a UK broadcast partner to fund production if TVNZ pull out, given they haven't aired the soap for almost 20 years, except for a brief period in 2010. Amazon wouldn't be interested either as Shortland Street hasn't a strong following in the UK as Neighbours does. Which leaves Ireland where it has a loyal following, and RTE probably wouldn't given their financial issues. 7de Laan went because of financial issues with the SABC and the production company, while Isidingo was cancelled due to low ratings.
