Did they alter the title? In the upfronts it was announced as "Hide & Seek"

3

Must have:

4

Seven are having trouble keeping a lid on all the Home & Away departures since so many cast members are joining other shows but remaining on screen months later.

5

What is it with Aussie dramas having a pun title that includes the surname of the main character?

I like it. It’s a bit of fun. The Brits do it a lot too.

7

It’s just a big lame

8

It doesn’t happen that much does it? I like it because it gives it a bit of originality. I think they probably chose to do it because it makes it somewhat distinct in social media and google searches.

I’m actually getting sick of all the generic titles we get lately like The Tunnel, The Bridge, The Code, The Circuit etc. And movies like Bridesmaids, The Boss etc. Apart from a few standouts, the majority of them don’t remain memorable after a few years. Clever titles usually stick in your mind.

says the guy whose name is really “Rian” :stuck_out_tongue:

I told you that in confidence :sleepy:

So two new Australian dramas will go head to head on Mondays (the other being The Secret Daughter on Seven). One unfortunately has to lose out.

14

Nine do it again. They’re putting Aussie drama against Aussie drama. Meanwhile Tuesday and Sundays are free. :rolling_eyes:

Have they been running promos for this or is it premiering at short notice again?

15

Seven has 800 Words on Tuesdays, which really only leaves Sundays free.
Nine has been promoting Hyde and Seek intermittently since State of Origin in July.

16

I forgot about 800 Words. I’ve been away the last few weeks. It’ll be interesting to see which of these shows will succeed. They’ll be up against Have You Been Paying Attention too.

17

I thought they were holding this off until next year.

18

House Husbands has been delayed until next year.

I think they should have held back Doctor Doctor or Hyde and Seek for a launch early next year and shown House Husbands now. They needed something big and new next year but now they just have tired old HH which is running out of steam.

20

This is the only show on 9 I’ll watch this year, but I’ll wait until it’s on 9Now first. This kind of show has been missing off our screens for a while now.
