Yep, I remember Blue Heelers being on at a very bad time as well. McLeods is on 4.25am Monday, just checked the listings. Very bad time for people wanting to watch them!

Ha ha. I worked on McCleod's Daughters. Wasn't really a fan though.
I've go tone more episode to watch in Underbelly and am really enjoying it. Like an Australia Sopranos, based on a true story. It's more adult that McLeod's Daughters, or Water Rats, but if you don't mind that, I'd definately reccomend it. Probablt the best show to come out of Australia in the last 15 years. Brilliant.

Google would be great if I had a half decent internet speed, load of All Saints up on youtube that I've watched! I've watched quite a bit of Blue Heelers as well, might try and watch Underbelly, sounds good!

Girl From Tomorrow and some of Round The Twist

ah used to love these when i was young, esp round the twist. OZ always had some good shows. Blue Heelers, Water Rats.

Someone mentioned outragous fortune which in from NZ. very good, is it still going though ?

Elmo

Am I wrong to think The Girl From Tomorrow is hugely underrated as a Kids Sci-fi.

And I thought Sky were going to do something interesting with the VMTV channels they just bought. Just watching SS a few days ago its set up is between Home and Away and Casualty, I doesn't say anything hugely critical or positive about the NZ Health System it is purely a bunch of actors playing Doctor.

Some of her co-stars were in Home & Away alongside her. Martin Dingle Wall played her husband Flynn Saunders for a while and Graeme Squire played Tom Nash.

Kate Ritchie will always be Sally to me though

Flynn was a lovely fella, so sad when he died

I stopped liking him when the original Flynn was replaced. The other guy I just couldn't take to at all.

I got used to him after a while, but talking about changing characters, I can't stand the new Declan in Neighbours! I want the old one back!!!

WesternNight

I don't really keep up with Neighbours. Or Home & Away anymore really.

They changed loads of characters in Home & Away and I couldn't get used to any of them. I've always thought that if you're going to lose a long-term cast member then just kill them off and be done with it

Martin Dingle Wall is hot



He is a firefighter in Rescue Special Ops which is now on Monday mornings early on RTE 1 with another two ex Home and Away cast members Les Hill (Blake) and Daniel Amalm (Jack)

I haven't kept up with H&A much during the summer, been watching it since I was born Normally during the winter I never miss an episode, summer months I'm out coaching or training in the evening, and working during the day

Anything with a New Zealand accent does my head in, with those dodgy vowels making my ears bleed. The ultimate nightmare for me, would be a Kiwi version of Countdown.:(

I saw a couple of minutes of Shortland Street once, and there was a deadly serious moment when one of the female characters was owning up to an indiscretion. "I cussed Jiff", she said. That was enough for me.

I enjoy this comedy. It is currently on RTÉ Two, around 23:30 every Wednesday.
