The pool at the Holiday Island resort became the fountain in the Lassiters Complex for Neighbours.

Yes, I just watched some of it. I could see the pool and palm trees.
Itâs amazing how a show like this had to be filmed in Melbourne (in the middle of winter). From my understanding there was very little production or film crews in Queensland. At the time.
It was a bit of a giveaway when you could see their breath in some scenes because it was so cold. The actors have said that they had to chew on ice cubes to prevent that happening.
I do like the increased orange bright lighting. But looks completely off with overcast clouds in the background.
From my understanding, the show shared the same format as The Love Boat. Not a bad idea, just let down by poor production values.
I wonder (if indeed the channel is legit) if this is in response to Fremantle doing something similar with Neighbours (and The Bill). Iâve noticed watching some of both shows that theyâve been lightly edited for YouTube, downmixing music and blurring content that might see the content flagged.
Makes me wonder if YouTube gives these production companies a way of making their content available and allows for bypassing some of the clearance (and maybe royalty) requirements of a streamer

Giving up on the DVD collections?

Probably no one wanted to pay for the rights. Or saw any value in teaming up with WIN.
Wonder if WIN will still flog the DVD sales on TV.
Havenât even upgraded to Blu-Ray.
Bruce is really slow. Makes Radiohead look like Gout Gout.
Probably wasnât filmed in widescreen HD to start with.
The same reason why Seinfeld was never on Blu-Ray.
Doesnât matter.
All those discs can be reduced to one or two. Worked for Samurai Pizza Cats.
I think that would have been misleading / confusing for consumers to sell it like that..
Some might have have thought being on Blu-Ray means itâs in HD, not SD Blu-Ray.
Pffft. Like Bruce cares.
Bruce mightnât care, but the ACCC might if itâs not marketed clearly.
Anyway, I disgress.
SD on Blu-ray never really took off
Seinfeld was on film, it was remastered on HD widescreen no reason they couldnât have done a blue-ray release.
From what I understand, it was shot only on 4:3 film, not 16:9 film.
Whilst it was remastered as HD widescreen for TV, they simply cropped it (removed top and bottom bits) to get that aspect ratio.
Correct but it is still in HD, even with cropping. Most shows were shot for 4:3 back then but it can still be remastered off film. Unlike tape which results in some shows probably eventually get less streaming/repeat value.

i think it must be. Theyâve just updated the channel with ads for various DVD releases!

Wouldnt that defeat the purpose of selling the DVDs?
Surely theyâd be trying to get that content licensed to a streaming service for the fact that there is some money - not a lot, but some - to be made.
