Home and Away is an Australian television soap opera. It was created by Alan Bateman and has been produced in Sydney, New South Wales since July 1987. It commenced broadcast on the Seven Network from 17 January 1988. It is the second-longest-running Australian drama and has endured worldwide success, becoming one of the most popular Australian soap operas to screen internationally and the most popular in its home country. The pilot episode was screened as a ninety-minute television film, with each subsequent episode airing at twenty-two minutes per episode. The series is broadcast Mondays through to Thursdays at 7:00 pm.

Home and Away is set in Summer Bay, a coastal town in New South Wales, and follows the personal and professional lives of the residents within the town. Initially, the series focused on the Fletcher family – Pippa and Tom, and their five foster children, Frank Morgan, Carly Morris, Lynn Davenport, Steven Matheson and Sally Keating (later Fletcher) – who relocated from the city to live in the picturesque town of Summer Bay, following Tom's job retrenchment and move into the Summer Bay House, where they took on the new job of running the caravan park, and eventually took in a sixth foster child, Bobby Simpson. The series was not without controversy. During the first season alone, the show featured several adult-themed storylines, such as teen pregnancy, drug and alcohol addiction and drug overdose. A storyline, in particular concerning rape outraged the public and a protest erupted, as viewers deemed it an inappropriate subject to be covering in an early evening time slot. The series has dealt with similar storylines over the years which have often exceeded its restricted time slot.

The series currently remains Australia's highest-rated and most popular soap opera, and has been successful in several countries. It is popular in the UK and Ireland, being one of Channel 5's and RTÉ's most popular drama series, especially since the Irish broadcaster began airing the show just several months after its premiere in Australia. The show remains successful in New Zealand, and France, where it is titled as Summer Bay.

Home and Away is the most successful programme in the history of the Logies and has earned a total of 43 Logie Awards since premiering in 1988, including the award for Most Popular Drama Program. The cast has earned several awards including the Gold Logie Award for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television, Silver Logie Award for Most Popular Actor, and Most Popular Actress. The show will be inducted into the Logie Hall of Fame in 2015.[2]

History

After the Seven Network cancelled their soap opera Neighbours on 12 July 1985 due to low ratings, rival network Ten picked it up and turned it into a success.[3] A couple of years later, Seven's head of drama, Alan Bateman, became desperate to get back into the soap market and began to work out how to launch another soap that was not a copy of Neighbours.[4] While on a trip to Kangaroo Point, New South Wales with his family, Bateman began talking to locals who were "up in arms" over the construction of a foster home for children from the city.[4][5] Seeing the degree of conflict the "influx of parentless children on a tight-knit community" was having, Bateman came away with the idea for a new serial.[5] He explained "Nobody in the community wanted them to move in and I began to wonder how streetwise city kids would adapt to the new lifestyle. Suddenly I thought, there is my slice of life in a community."[4] Bateman began outlining the storyline and set the serial in the fictional town of Summer Bay. While Seven Network executives were unconvinced by the idea, audience research was positive.[4] The soap opera was initially called Refuge, but the name was changed to the "friendlier" title of Home and Away once production began.[4]

The Surf Club has been a prominent feature in Home and Away

When the show began in 1988, it focused on Tom Fletcher and his wife, Pippa.[5] They had four foster children, Frank Morgan, Carly Morris, Steven Matheson, Lyn Davenport, and an adopted daughter, Sally Fletcher. They soon fostered Bobby Simpson, a local tearaway, much to the annoyance of Donald Fisher. They bought the caravan park and quickly built strong friendships with the locals, Ailsa Stewart, Alf Stewart, and Neville and Floss McPhee.

Home and Away celebrated its 21st year in production in Sydney on 23 July 2009.[6] The mayor of Sydney's Pittwater Council presented cast members with the key to Palm Beach, the filming location for the show.[6]

In preparation for the show's 25th anniversary, Seven's new digital channel 7Two began airing episodes from the very beginning. Channel 5 announced similar plans to celebrate the show's 25th anniversary by showing the best of classic episodes of the show (as voted for by viewers), showing two episodes a day from each year the series has been on air, beginning with the 1988 pilot.[7]

Characters

Former cast

Notable former cast members include Heath Ledger (Scott Irwin), Isla Fisher (Shannon Reed), Kate Ritchie (Sally Fletcher), Melissa George (Angel Parrish), Julian McMahon (Ben Lucini), Dannii Minogue (Emma Jackson), Chris Hemsworth (Kim Hyde), Isabel Lucas (Tasha Andrews), Simon Baker (James Healy), Guy Pearce (David Croft), Jason Clarke (Kick Johnson), Ryan Kwanten (Vinnie Patterson), Tammin Sursok (Dani Sutherland), Brenton Thwaites (Stu Henderson), Nicholas Bishop (Peter Baker), Sharni Vinson (Cassie Turner), Luke Jacobz (Angelo Rosetta) and Naomi Watts (Julie Gibson).[8] According to Kip Gamblin (Scott Hunter, 2003–2005), "the acting apprenticeship so many had received on the set of Home and Away had paved the way for their success."[8]

Production

All interiors for the show were taped at Seven Sydney's Epping studios until 2010. Following the closure of these studios in early 2010, episodes have been taped at the Australian Technology Park in Redfern. Exterior scenes are taped on location, mainly at Palm Beach, and at Fisherman's Beach, Collaroy in Sydney's Northern Beaches district. The show has filmed in Melbourne twice.[9]

Home and Away was originally filmed on standard videotape since its beginning in 1988. However, in mid-2003 this operation ceased when the series began filming in high-definition video, for the purpose of adding quality and giving a more film look to the series even while watching in standard definition. The series continues to air in standard definition (PAL 576i) on the Seven Network since its inception and for a brief period in high-definition (1080i) when Seven HD launched in 2007. The practice ended 25 September 2010 to make way for 7mate which replaced Seven HD. Home and Away can be viewed in HD in other countries such as Ireland on RTÉ Two HD and in the UK on Channel 5 HD.

Storylines

Over the years, Home and Away has dealt with some very controversial issues. While the show has had a number of light hearted or comical story lines, there has also been a number of story lines concerned with more adult themes, including domestic violence, bullying (inside and outside of school), gambling addiction, teenage pregnancy, racism, sexual assault, drug dependency, adultery, wrongful imprisonment, suicide, murder, homosexuality, incest and child abuse.

Broadcast

Australia

Home and Away currently airs on the Seven Network at 7:00 pm from Mondays to Thursdays, going up against rival current affairs shows A Current Affair on the Nine Network, and The Project on Network Ten.[10] The show is aired for approximately 46 weeks each year. Each season usually begins in January/February and the season finale airs in November/December. The last five aired episodes shown are broadcast in an omnibus edition each Sunday on Seven's digital multichannel 7Two. The twenty-eighth season of Home and Away premiered on 2 February 2015.[11][12]

When the show first began, it aired at 5:30 pm in Adelaide, at 6:00 pm in Melbourne and Sydney, at 6:30 pm in Brisbane, and at 7:00 pm in Perth.[13] The launch of Home and Away was hoped to help boost Seven's early evening ratings which had been underperforming in previous years.[13] However, the show struggled to get a hold on the audience, particularly when compared to rival soap opera Neighbours, which was a ratings powerhouse at the time.[13] By the end of Home and Away‍ '​s first season, its ratings had improved.[13] In January 1992, when Neighbours' high-rating era was over, Seven moved Home and Away to the 7:00 pm timeslot across the network, putting both shows up against each other.[13] This caused Network Ten to move Neighbours to the 6.30 pm timeslot two months later.[13]

In March 2013, Better Homes and Gardens began replacing Home and Away on Fridays to make way for Seven's AFL coverage.[14] Friday's episodes of Home and Away now air on Thursdays at 7:30 pm.[14] As of 2015, the show is attracting between 690,000 and 1 million viewers an episode, and is often ranked first or second in its timeslot.[15][16]

7Two began showing repeat episodes of Home and Away from the beginning in November 2009, and is now aired each weekday at 9:00 am. Prime7 previously aired repeats between 1999 and 2002. Foxtel also aired Home and Away from the beginning on their now-defunct channel Fox Kids, and later on Fox Soap between 1996 and 1998.

Ireland

In Ireland, the national state broadcaster, RTÉ, has shown the programme since November 1988. At this point it was 10 months behind Australian broadcasts. The show is aired Monday to Friday currently at 1:30 pm on RTÉ One,[17] repeating at 6:30 pm on RTÉ2. A repeat of the week's episodes is aired on Saturday and Sunday on RTÉ2.

Home and Away is currently 24 episodes (4 weeks, 4 days) behind the Australian broadcast. The 2015 season premiered on RTÉ One and RTÉ2 on 6 March, 2015.

Since 1988, RTÉ was originally the first channel in Europe to premiere new episodes, However, in 2005, UK's Channel 5 acquired the rights to premiere the show in Europe, therefore, RTÉ was unable screen episodes ahead of Channel 5. From 9 May 2014, RTÉ screened new episodes while the show was on hiatus on Channel 5. This is the first time in nine years that RTÉ will premiere new episodes in Europe. Home and Away When the series went on hiatus from 12 June 2014 to 7 July 2014, Channel 5 once again premiered new episodes in Europe. Previous episodes of the show are available for Irish viewers on the RTÉ Player.

As of late 2014, Home and Away is no longer available to view in Northern Ireland on both RTÉ One and RTÉ2 via Sky TV, as a message displays 'this programme is not available'. The series has also been blocked on Virgin TV for several years. Sky viewers in the Republic of Ireland are not affected by this change. Both Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland can view the series on both channels through Irish platform Saorview, or by watching on Channel 5.

Home and Away is distributed by Endemol in New Zealand.[18] The show began screening in the country during November 1989, coinciding with the launch of TV3. The show was dropped by TV3 in 1992 and picked up by TVNZ the following year, screening weekday afternoons on TV1 and later moving to TV2 screening at 5pm. TVNZ ceased screening Home and Away in 2002 and a week later the show was picked up again by TV3.[18] Home and Away aired on weekdays at 5:30pm on TV3.

On 5 July 2013, Endemol cancelled its agreement with TV3, causing them to lose the right to broadcast Home and Away.[18] The show was then picked up by TVNZ once again and it will be aired on TV2 on weeknights, with an opportunity to catch-up the following morning and during Sunday afternoons.[18][19] The series premiered on TV2 on 19 August 2013 at 5:30pm.[19]

Home and Away debuted on British television, on ITV, in most regions, on Saturday, 11 February 1989 (however, some showed the pilot episode a day later on Sunday, 12 February). It was broadcast on ITV for 11-and-a-half years, episodes 1–2840. The last ITV-broadcast episode was aired on Thursday, 8 June 2000.

Theme song

Opening theme

Indiana Evans, Mark Furze and the crew during filming

The theme's lyrics have remained the same since the pilot episode, but have been gradually reduced in length to keep newer versions of the song at a shorter length. The theme was released as a single in the UK in 1989 and peaked at No.73 on the UK single charts.[22]

The single track includes the opening and closing themes and an additional saxophone section. Since the launch of the 1995 version of the theme tune, extracts from the second verse of the full-length soundtrack have been used to close the show, as opposed to an edited version of the opening song which was used until this point. The theme was shortened in 1996, and again in 2004. John Holmes, executive producer of Home and Away, explained the erosion of theme music in 2007. He said: "That's been a casualty of the accelerated flow which is the abolition of opening credits and having our closing credits condensed to such an extent that they are put on the screen at the same time as we are promoting the next episode."[23]

For the 2000 theme song, Australian pop band The Robertson Brothers recorded the new theme song which was used until the end of the 2003 season. The Robertson Brothers again recorded a new version for the theme song for the 2004 season and was used until the end of the 2006 season. This was a shorter theme running at 30 seconds.

The mid-2007–2008 theme was recorded by 20-year-old actor and musician Luke Dolahenty. Israel Cannan sang the theme in early 2007, but due to complaints from fans, Network Seven decided to re-record it, making it the shortest running theme song in the programme's history, until the 2009 theme song was introduced.

From June 2006 to mid-2008, the opening titles were played occasionally, depending on the episodes' length. Prior to this, in 2006 episode 4212, the theme song and even the Home and Away title was not used. When the series returned following the 2008 Olympic cliffhanger, the theme song was completely removed.

In 2009, the show debuted with a revamped opening and closing theme; however, for timing reasons the lyrics have been shortened slightly and the tune now runs at 15 seconds. The theme has returned to a male/female duet, after eight years of male group/solo singers. As it is much shorter, the theme once again played at the start of every episode. The theme is accompanied by the show's first set of cast-less opening titles. The design of the titles is that of a collage, made up from many pictures of Palm Beach, the location used as Summer Bay. This was the final theme song to be recorded.

Since the beginning of the 2010 season, the theme song is no longer played. However, a new 6 second instrumental short version of the theme song was used, which was the 1988 version played at the beginning of each episode. In 2011, another version of the music was introduced; this was a much more upbeat and more recognizable version of the opening notes of the 1988 theme. Mid-2012, a brand new arrangement of the opening music included the "Closer Each Day, Home and Away" section of the theme at the beginning.

From the beginning of the 2013 season, a new version for the short theme was introduced and a new opening which currently changes every week. This was also used in the 2014 season and currently continues in the 2015 season.

Ending theme

In Australia, the ending theme was played at the end of each episode for many years, after which the ending theme was removed and replaced with the end credits playing over scenes for the next episode. The ending themes currently continues to play internationally in countries such as the United Kingdom and Ireland. In the UK, the ITV network originally played the ending credits in the early years of the series, however, they were later removed for the duration that the series was on ITV meaning the ending theme was never played again. When the series made the move to Channel 5 in 2001, the ending credits returned. Throughout it's run in Ireland, state broadcaster RTÉ have used the ending credits in each episode and still continue to do so. Since the final theme song of Home and Away was recorded in 2009, this is the same theme that plays over the ending credits internationally, despite the changes in the opening credits since 2009, a new theme song has not been recorded for the international end credits.

Controversies

Home and Away is one of the most complained about shows on Australian television. From 1 July 2005 to 30 June 2006, there were 23 written complaints about the show as viewers thought it was inappropriate for it to be shown in its 19:00 timeslot. Home and Away was the 8th most complained about show on Australian television and was the only drama in the top ten complaint list.[24]

In March 2009, it was alleged that the Seven Network agreed to censor a scene with a lesbian kiss, after pressure from religious groups. This action was publicly condemned by several parties, including media commentator David Knox. Bevan Lee, Seven Network's Head of Creative Drama, later denied the censorship allegations, calling it a media beat up.[25][26]

In July 2009, former Home and Away actor Bryan Wiseman wrote in The Sunday Telegraph alleging a culture of drug and alcohol abuse among the younger members of the cast. The allegations followed incidents involving cast members Jodi Gordon and Lincoln Lewis. Lewis was "disciplined" by Channel Seven after it became public that he had filmed himself and a "starlet" engaged in a sexual act and then shown the film to Home and Away colleagues. Gordon and a male friend reported to police that they had seen, on a security camera, men armed with guns in the backyard of the friend's home. No men were found and the pair later admitted to police that they had consumed drugs during that day. No charges were laid.[27][28][29][30]
