I loved this show and would love to see it on Satelitte tv /sky.A soap channel I think would definitely go down well with people and putting this on again and other forgotton soaps from the 70s 80s 90s andclassic Australian soaps.Does anyone else agree with me. And the brilliant Wilde Alliance.

I really would love to see Macmillan and Wife with Rock Hudson and Susan St. James again and also the Devlin Connection with Rock Hudson and Jack Scalia.
The list is endless and would include also American shows such as Rhoda.
Ahhh Sister Scott,now there is a blast from the past lol.That character was in The Young Doctors
The Young Doctors, that's it. I had forgotten the name. Sister Scott wasn't a fluffy touchy feely type from what I remember and didn't suffer fools. I think it's why I can remember her.
Also, going down the afternoon soaps route, what about A Country Practice and The Sullivans?
Not sure of the archive status of the reformatted one hour peaktime version but if its like practically every other ATV drama before 1976 then there's unlikely to be complete series available.
As someone else said . this is the best option for seeing samples of vintage soaps

Even the series 1 dvd set of General Hospital points out that the dvd's contain all that are left in the archive - most are B&W recordings as the colour masters were wiped - and lots of episodes don't exist at all
But GH is not alone .
ATV's police series from 1973-1976 Hunters Walk is also out and there are only 10 left out of 39 - again some are only in B&W
Tony Adams was a bit of a heart-throb I recall as Dr Neville Bywaters in General Hospital...though I preferred Tom Adams (even though I was v young !)Don't know whether you know but there are full episodes of McMillan and Wife on You Tube...know its not the same as it being shown again on the telly but maybe a quick fix ! The theme tune by Jerry Fielding was good too and Nancy Walker great as the wise cracking housekeeper.
Rhoda

Didnt Cornelia Frances appear in the 'other' Itv Aussie afternoon staple, Sons and Daughters, at some point.
I think so but I didn't really watch that, I do however remember the theme tune.
The Sullivans seemed to run for ever - must have been hundreds of episodes.
Lindia Bellingham joana Lumley and Ray lonneon

Also remember the Sullivans. It used to be on around lunchtimes when I was a kid.
