'''''Home and Away''''' (commonly abbreviated to '''''H&A''''') is an [[Australia]]n weeknightly half-hour [[television]] [[soap opera]] that has been produced in [[Sydney]] by [[Seven Network]] since July 1987. The show first went to air on Sunday [[17 January]] [[1988]] with a two hour pilot and from then it premiered as a weeknightly program the night after on Monday [[18 January]] [[1988]] at 6 p.m. before ''[[Seven News]]'' which then aired at 6:30 p.m.. ''Home and Away'' has also aired at the 6:30 p.m. timeslot however from [[1992]] the 7 p.m. slot has been its stable time.
The show is broadcast on the Seven Network and its affiliates from Monday to Friday at 7 p.m. in Australia and is exported to many countries including the [[United Kingdom]], [[Ireland]], [[New Zealand]], [[Estonia]], [[France]], [[Norway]] and many [[Asia]]n countries.
When the show began in January 1988 ratings were low but soon improved and gradually the show's popularity grew. Originally ''Home and Away'' focused primarily on Pippa and Tom who ran the [[Summer Bay]] Caravan Park and lived there with a succession of foster children, but eventually the show's focus broadened to focus on the lives and loves of the inhabitants of the rest of Summer Bay.
== History ==
In 1985, Seven Network axed the poor rating soap ''[[Neighbours]]''; they continued producing that series for its remaining contract, ultimately producing 170 episodes. However Seven Network was unaware that [[Network Ten]], a rival [[television network]], was in talks with the production team to air the soap on their network in 1986.
When ''Neighbours'' returned, on Ten, in 1986, it initially attracted low ratings <ref>Mercado, Andrew. ''Super Aussie Soaps'', Pluto Press Australia, 2004. ISBN 1-86403-191-3 p 208</ref>. The Network worked hard to publicise ''Neighbours'' <ref>Mercado, Andrew. ''Super Aussie Soaps'', Pluto Press Australia, 2004. ISBN 1-86403-191-3 p 208-9</ref> by revamping the show and adding several new, younger cast members, and they launched a concerted publicity drive largely focused on these new actors <ref>Mercado, Andrew. ''Super Aussie Soaps'', Pluto Press Australia, 2004. ISBN 1-86403-191-3 p 209</ref>. This paid off for ''Neighbours'' and its popularity grew; by the end of 1987 it was attracting high ratings in Australia <ref>Mercado, Andrew. ''Super Aussie Soaps'', Pluto Press Australia, 2004. ISBN 1-86403-191-3 p 231</ref>. In October 1986, ''Neighbours'' started being broadcast in the UK, where it began to attract strong viewing figures.
In late 1986 the Seven Network’s head of drama at the time [[Alan Bateman]] was tasked with creating a pilot for a soap opera that was in no way a copy ''Neighbours''. Bateman soon found his inspiration when he stopped in [[Kangaroo Point, New South Wales]] on a family outing. Chatting to locals Bateman discovered that the townspeople were angered over the construction of a home for foster children from the city. Seeing the degree of conflict the plan for the new youth centre had produced within the community, Bateman recognised the drama that could be generated by this situation and began to develop it as the basis for the new soap opera.

== Locations ==
Aside from the residents' houses Summer Bay has several well-known locations including:
* '''The Surf Club''' - As with many real life Australian beaches Summer Bay has its own Surf and Lifesaving Centre. Over the years as well as serving its purpose as a centre for sea and land rescues it has been a place for the young people of the Bay to relax and socialise. Town meetings are often held in the Surf Club. It has also been used as a polling station and a private party/formal venue and has housed various food outlets. Several characters have been trained as lifeguards over the years and surf competitions take place occasionally.
* '''Noah's Bar''' - Located in and joined to the Surf Club. Originally intended to be a business venture between newly-weds [[Noah Lawson]] and [[Hayley Lawson]] the bar was renamed after Noah's tragic death and changed hands after Hayley's move to France with [[List of Home and Away characters|Scott Hunter]]. The only known licensed premises regularly shown on the show, it is also used for private functions. Beth, Alf and Martha run the bar.
* '''Summer Bay Super Bods''' - The gym is also located next to the Surf Club. Currently owned by [[Amanda Vale]], and run by [[Tony Holden]] and [[Kim Hyde]]. Previous employees include [[Jesse McGregor]], and [[Hayley Lawson]].
* '''The Bayside Diner''' - More commonly known simply as The Diner. Originally owned by [[Bobby Simpson]] and her best friend [[Ailsa Stewart]], currently by [[Leah Patterson-Baker]] and [[Irene Roberts]], although Alf still owns half the building, with Leah owning the other half. It was gutted by fire in 2000 due to [[Colleen Smart]] pouring a drum of oil, which she mistook for water, on a raging fire. The diner was forced to move ___location. Above is a two-bedroomed flat where Brad Armstrong currently lives. The Diner is the first port of call for any residents of the Bay who wish to have a "choccy milkshake", laid-back dinner or take-away.
* '''Summer Bay High''' - The local co-ed high school. It is also used as a shelter in extreme weather conditions such as hurricanes and has been the scene of a hostage situation. Most of the younger characters attend the school, and many of the adult characters have worked there as principals, teachers, admin staff and counsellors. These include Donald Fisher, [[Sally Fletcher]], [[Irene Roberts]], [[Amanda Vale]], [[Tony Holden]], [[Shauna Bradley]], Brad Armstrong, [[Dan Baker (Home and Away)|Dan Baker]] and [[Noah Lawson]].
* '''The Beach''' - The beach is an important part of the Bay and several major storylines have revolved around it. It is the main outdoor ___location, often used for casual encounters between characters. It also serves to showcase the looks of the cast, who are often seen wearing beachwear. There is a small salt-water swimming pool at one end of the beach which is used occasionally.
* '''The Police Station''' - Since the Zoe McAllistar saga began Summer Bay Police Station has been an increasingly popular setting for scenes. [[Peter Baker (Home and Away)|Peter Baker]] and regular character PC [[Jack Holden]] work there. Former officers include [[Nick Parrish]] and [[Joel Nash]]. Other police officials are recurring characters (PC Lara "Fitzy" Fitzgerald, PC Ashton Nader, Detective Ken Harper and Senior Constable Darren McGrath) and regular viewers will know of their simple but recognisable characteristics, i.e. good cop, bad cop.
* '''Northern Districts Hospital''' - Illnesses, accidents and emergencies have seen many characters brought to the hospital for treatment. Current hospital employees include characters Dr. [[Rachel Armstrong]], Nurse Julie Cooper and physiotherapist Samantha Tolhurst. Former hospital employees include Dr. Charlotte Adams, Dr. Lachlan Fraser, the late Dr. [[Flynn Saunders]] and Dr. Kelly Watson.
== Production and broadcast schedule ==
The show is filmed five days a week for 46 weeks of the year. The crew is given a four week holiday at [[Christmas]] and a two week break for recuperation mid-year. A normal shooting day is 7:00am to 6:00pm, but can go later if shooting goes over time. There are 3 to 4 months between shooting and airing the program. The interior shots are filmed at a permanent set for the show in [[ATN-7|Seven Sydney]]'s [[Epping, New South Wales|Epping]] studio. The exterior scenes are filmed on ___location at [[Palm Beach, New South Wales|Palm Beach]] and at Long Reef Beach in Sydney's [[Northern Beaches (Sydney)|Northern Beaches]] region. Filming normally takes place on Tuesdays and Thursdays here.
=== Australian broadcasts ===
''Home And Away'' is broadcast in Australia on weekdays at 7:00 p.m.. The show airs for 46 weeks each year (except for occasions where worldwide events take priority such as tennis and Olympic Games). Each new season begins on the second Monday in January (an exception to this was the 2006 season where it returned on the third Monday), and the season finale airs on the last Friday of the [[Australian television ratings|ratings period]] (usually the last Friday in November, although was not the case in 2006 as it was aired on the first Friday of December). The show rates very well in its timeslot, receiving between 1.1 and 1.5 million viewers per episode. The show's main rival is ''[[Temptation (game show)|Temptation]]'' on the [[Nine Network]], which usually comes second in this timeslot. In this timeslot [[Network Ten]] screens, at various times of the year, programs such as the ''[[Big Brother Australia]]'' [[Big Brother Australia#Daily Show|''Daily Show'']], ''[[The Biggest Loser (Australia)|The Biggest Loser]]'', or repeats of ''[[The Simpsons]]'', which usually come third in ratings behind networks Seven and Nine.
During the broadcast there are three ad-breaks and immediately following the broadcast of each episode is a short promotional trailer for the next episode.
Repeat episodes of the series were broadcast between 1999 and 2002, with a one-year break in 2000. The first 623 episodes (except for Episode 469, which was overlooked when Seven were showing the tennis in September 2001) were shown in this run, before it was taken off in May 2002, and so far has never returned. Restrictions due to contracts with actors who appeared in the early days of the series prevent the Seven Network from showing repeats of ''Home And Away'', or releasing DVD sets[http://seven.com.au/homeandaway/you-asked].
=== United Kingdom ===
The show has more overall viewers in the larger UK market than it has in its home market,{{Fact|date=February 2007}} but a higher proportion of viewers in Australia due to Australia's smaller population.{{Fact|date=February 2007}} All ITV regions showed the same episode each day however it was shown at different times, with the first opportunity to watch normally at lunchtime, followed by a teatime screening.
UK regions have historically had different timeslots for the programme. Most regions aired it at 5.10pm, however Central and Anglia originally showed it at 6.35pm, later 6pm. Thames and Granada then moved the show from 5.10pm to 6pm, Border at 6.30pm, TSW at 3.25pm, before their successor [[Westcountry Television]] moved the series to 5.10pm in 1993. At one point the TSW region screened it at 1.20pm with a repeat of the same episode at 3.25pm (1991). All regions screened at 5pm from March 1999.
In the UK episode from 1993 onwards were sometimes censored for content. Two episodes were dropped in their entirety, one due to similarities to the Dunblane massacre, another due to similarities to the James Bulger kidnap.
In 2000, episodes aired in the UK were aired only one week previously in Australia.
The shift in the UK from ITV in [[June 2000]] to [[Five (channel)|Five]] damaged the program's ratings; contract obligations kept it off air in the UK for a year (although episodes from 1997 were broadcast on [[ITV2]]) and the smaller audience share Five has is believed to contribute to the show achieving ratings significantly lower than those it enjoyed on ITV. Five funds more than half of the production costs, and it is officially Five's second highest rated show.
[[2006|As of 2006]], in the UK, the show is broadcast weekdays at 6:00 p.m., (repeated 12.00pm the following weekday) on Five. The following episode is broadcast at 6.30 p.m. on Five's digital sister channel [[Five Life]]. Five life will also air 4pm replays weekdaily as from february 2007. In March 2007 the 4pm replays will be followed by classic episodes of Home And Away from 1988 when it first started.
In accordance with [[European Union]] regulations for shows of this time-length, only one advertisement break is inserted into the programme at approximately the halfway point. An omnibus edition aired on Saturday mornings when that week's episodes were all repeated. As of [[October 2005]], there was no airing of the omnibus, however Five life, a brand new channel, started aired the omnibus as of October 2006.
''Home and Away'' was first aired on Five on [[2001-07-16]]. At this stage it was fifty weeks (250 episodes) behind Australia. Due to the breaks in transmission in Australia, it has been catching up in the UK ever since and is currently only eleven weeks behind.{{or}}
The deal between the channels was reached on [[February 24]] [[2000]].{{Fact|date=February 2007}}
==== Five scheduling ====
Monday to Friday 12.30pm-1.00pm (repeat of day before's episode. This was from July 2001-December 2005. The only exception to this was the night before Home and away launched officially on Five, Five broadcast a recap episode featuring [[Sally Fletcher]] and [[Leah Patterson-Baker]] this aired from 12.30pm-1.30pm the next day)
Monday to Friday 12.00noon-12.30pm (repeat of the day before's episode) This was from January 2006 until the present. This means the repeat screens 1 hour and 40 minutes before the new episode of rival soap [[Neighbours]] screens on [[BBC ONE]] from 1.40pm-2.05pm (or occasionally 1.45pm-2.10pm) however, unlike Neighbours Home and away screens in the UK EVERY WEEK DAY (sometimes Saturday's as well) because the BBC sometimes shifts [[Neighbours]] onto BBC 2 for the lunchtime slot or both it's daily slots and sometimes it doesn't show because it's [[Christmas]] [[Bank Holiday]] [[New Year]] etc. Whereas Home and away does normally screen on [[Christmas Day]] and [[New Year's Eve]]. This however was not the case when it aired on ITV when it did a similar thing the BBC was doing to Neighbours.
Monday to Friday 6.00pm-6.30pm. The Nightly episode new to analogue viewers (as of October 2006. Before then it was New to the UK altogether.) Screens straight after BBC One repeats [[Neighbours]] from 5.35pm to the 6pm News Hour. the only 2 exceptions to this are in early 2005 there was a football match so Home and away screened it's new episode between 3.15pm and 3.45pm as a one off. However recently on Valentines day 2007 the episode was screened between 7.30pm and 8.00pm. This was the only time Home and away has ever clashed with a soap rival [[Coronation Street]] on Terrestrial Television in the UK The Only Time Home and away was screened for an hour was On Sunday July 15th 2001 between 6pm and 7pm. This was the night before Home and away was officially launched on Channel Five.
Between July 2001 and October 2005, Channel Five screened Home and away Omnibus on Saturday's. To start with it was 2.30pm-5.00pm in the afternoon. Then it moved to 11.30am-2.00pm until it moved to it's earliest ever timeslot in the UK in 2004 until 2005 between 7.55am and 10.00am.
Then it repeats episodes from 2 days previous days at 4pm (4 hours after [[Five]] repeats the same episode)
Then at 6.30pm Monday-Friday it airs the episode that will air the next day/week on Five at the 6pm slot.
On Saturday's it has revived it's omnibus and seems to have a rather fixed time- 11.45am-2.00pm and the 1.35pm-2.00pm airs the episode that will next air on Five too. Weirdly this is how the episodes air on Five Life's Schedule
Five Life = Monday- Friday {remember this is the day before Five]
this will Equal
Five= Tuesday- Friday then the next Monday's episode. Confusing isn't it? This is the same with other UK rival soap [[Hollyoaks]] which clashes with the 6.30pm show but the next episode follows after Home and away's new one on [[E4]] at 7.00pm the time New episodes of Neighbours could air on the BBC The BBC are thinking about airing [[first-look]] Neighbours on it's sister channel [[BBC Three]]
