TV Shows
 

We're heading off to Brisbane on the 8th Nov, our daughter (11) wants to know if she can still get see her favourite shows, Coronation Street, Casualty and Holby City, i'm sure Coronation Street is but how far behind is it? can anyone help her?

Re: TV Shows
 

Good question, I can't help you myself but I'm also interested in the answer :o

I know that I'll be too busy surfing, bbq'ing and sitting on the deck watching the sunsets once we get to Brissy :rolleyes: , but I'm sure that I'll be able to manage to spare half an hour for a regular fix of Corrie. :D

Coronation Street, Casuatly and Holby aren't on normal TV as far as I know - get someone to give you the link to the pay TV over here and you can check it out...think it is Foxtel (don't have it myself).

But I will admit I keep uptodate with a weekly fix of reading the decent websites about, some with all the episodes including picture - amazed my sister in law in April by being further ahead than she was and telling her what she was missing while here in Sydney!

Hi
My relatives are over from melbourne at the moment and when they left in July Gail was being kidnapped with the family from that deranged Richard!!! I dont watch these programmes so not sure how behind this is.
Richard (my hubby) says how sad are we that we are discussing coronation street on the expats site!!! LOL

You should see it in Sydney, Ena Sharples is still in it. :D

Any of you (new) ozzies out there miss Eastenders, don't worry because it is now crap in fact I have now renamed it Miseryenders. Viewers have dropped because story lines are so crap!

Re: TV Shows
 

All Saints is a much more "juicy" Aussie version of Casualty!!!! None of those programmes are on terrestrial TV I'm afraid, not sure about Foxtel, but they would be a long way behind.

Re: TV Shows
 

When you have been here a month or two, you will forget what you used to watch in the UK, and will start to follow the Aussie stuff.........there are some decent progs on over here.

Re: TV Shows
 

No, sorry, I'll disagree with that one!!

UKTV is brilliant - been showing some dramas I remember from the UK a few years back; they are also re-running McCallum at present (Scottish pathologist). We are up to February's editions in Casualty, and Holby City, Coronation St and Eastenders are also on UKTV, though I an't tell you how far behind they are.
Lots of Brit sitcoms and stuff too.

I got up early this morning and watched Corrie on UKTV. I don't know how far behind it is but Gail Tilsley is looking OLD, so it can't be that far behind.

After Corrie was the Benny Hill Show, featuring classics like the chinese man who can't pronounce English words.

That Gail Tilsley was BORN looking old!
