We Are Slightly Excited By News Of A Fresh Aussie Soap - And Have Some Ideas Of Our Own

A few months ago, we learned that the BBC were creating a new Aussie soap called 'Out Of The Blue' to replace Neighbours, as the folks from Ramsay Street were moving over to another channel. Now we read Australians will be able to watch the show, for Channel Ten have excitedly grabbed the series for themselves.
The BBC commissioned the series last year after it lost rights to Neighbours to rival channel 5 in a deal worth $750 million over eight years. The BBC needed a replacement and ordered 130 episodes of the five night a week soap from Australian production company Southern Star Entertainment - but no local networks were involved.
