note to mods: wasn’t sure whether to post about the previous version here or in tv history thread
The revival of RSC made me go on YT and have a bit of a nostalgic journey at the old show, used to watch it quite a bit and found this one from 2010. Peter Everett era
During the end credits, there was still V/O continuity, Ten must’ve been the only network still doing this let alone daytime TV and in 2010. If Neighbours was only pulling 600k-odd main channel, daytime would’ve been what, 400k-ish max? "New White Collar tonight, next on Ten, Judge Judy.
Also noticed sometime between 2007 and 2009 they’d changed the classification from G to PG and added Supertext (closed captioning).
I also miss that Endemol-Southern Star ender, SS productions but for Endemol formats, was always a stylish production tag to end a episode and you knew you were watching good TV back then (also responsible for Big Brother). SS were also doing Sea Patrol and Rush and came off 13 years of Heelers.
Anyway, memories. The new show definitely different to these, it is strange seeing it in prime time though. I think it’ll struggle against Better Homes, Gardening, AFL, NRL, etc. Could’ve tried Saturday nights.
