5Drama 

Channel 5 is launching a new channel – 5Drama –  which is set to show Home and Away from the very first episode. 

5Drama will launch on 21 October, and is described as being “a dedicated home to the very best of 5’s hit UK drama, as well as a range of US and Australian series.” 

The channel has announced that it will air the first two series of Home and Away, beginning with the first series “soon after launch”. 

The press release says: “Fans will be able to relive the show from the beginning, catching up with classic characters like Alf Stewart and Sally Fletcher in Summer Bay back in 1988, and following the storylines that have kept UK viewers hooked ever since.” 

While no time slot has yet been announced for the early Home and Away episodes, the release states that “each day will close with a double bill of Australian drama.”

The new channel will also feature All Creatures Great and Small, The Madame Blanc Mysteries and The Hardacres.
