http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6240716.stm
Personally I was hoping for Shortland Street! |

Hasn't BBC1 got enough medical drama already?
Will this be moved to the Neighbours slot next year I wonder? Very shoddy if they end up showing this twice a day... Edit: Moving Wallpaper and Echo Beach sound intriguing. |

It would be lacking in imagination and very lazy. How about having 2 programmes in the Neighbours slot, rather than just padding out the schedule with another repeat?
The only time repeats bother me and are ridiculous is when it's things like ITV2 repeating Corrie and Emmerdale non-stop of a weekend and BBC3 repeating Two Pints on a loop. Now that's lacking in imagination. Repeating something once does not show a lack of imagination IMO. In fact it shows that somebody has thought about and shown consideration towards the viewers who might have missed the first showing of a programme. |

I would expect that they will strip it five days a week and use 25 minute slots. In Australia the show airs a s a weekly hoiur long drama, but I think five full episodes of this a week is too much.
They will probably split them into two halves as ITV successfully did with A Country Practice in the 1980s and 1990s. |

I read this on teletext earlier. Isn't All Saints meant to be really good- as it is very popular in Oz. If I can I will try and watch it- or tape it.
So seeing as they are starting from 2002 episodes- we will get to see Natalie Saleeba (now Rosie in Neighbour) as she was in All Saints from 2004- 2006. |

Anyone know if this means it will pick up from where Living (was it?) stopped showing this series years ago?
We watched it on there and it is a really good series. This is a smart move by the BBC. It will definitely build an audience. Ironically, if you check, there has been an All Saints titled thread in the main programming forum asking for its return for months and months. Given that it has got better and better and become more and more popular in Oz since it was rapidly axed here mid flow then it has been surprising thatnobody has picked this up before. The BBC have pulled off a coup here. There are going to be some very happy people on there. Give it a chance if you have never seen All Saints as my recall is that it will become addictive. |

Doctors in my oppinion should move into the Neighbours slot, it could then gain a whole new audiance.

i started downloading the show off the net last January before that my mate down under used to post me episodes on tape of it. It is first class entertainment and i highly recomend it. Georgie Parker who will play Terri won Gold Logie in 2001 and 2002 an award Kylie Minouge has previously won. |

atwt, please check your PMs
![]() Anyway, it's good to hear All Saints will be joining BBC daytime. It's more of a drama series than a soap though so it's not likely to take the Neighbours slot as it doesn't run all year 'round and the BBC only have the rights to certain seasons. I agree with the person who said the BBC should pickup 'Shortland Street' as a replacement for Neighbours. |

All Saints will be hacked to pieces on the BBC. It occasionaly features very graphic content and bad language. It's not an afternoon show. Diagnosis Murder it ain't.

![]() If A Country Practice (PG) was hacked to death by ITV, you can guarantee the BBC will mess with this , particularly as the following shows (3.25pm onwards) are aimed at the very young. |
