Running since 1988, Home and Away (or Home & Away) is one of Australia’s longest-airing soap operas. Produced by the Seven Network, the show is filmed primarily at Palm Beach and Fisherman’s Beach in Sydney’s Northern Beaches region. Interior scenes are filmed at Seven Sydney’s Epping studios. Since 1992 the show has aired at 7:00pm and receives between 1.1 and 1.5 million viewers per episode. The show has also previously aired at 6:00 and 6:30.
Home and Away has proved very successful in other countries also and currently screens in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, France, Norway, Sweden and many Asian countries, among others. Home and Away was originally developed by Channel Seven as a soap opera to appeal to all ages (especially young people) and to compete with Channel Ten’s popular Neighbours soap. Channel Seven had originally broadcast Neighbours to poor ratings, but after Channel Ten relaunched the soap with some changes and improved ratings, Seven needed to find a new soap opera that would appeal to a similar market. The TV show’s original storylines centred on the foster family of Tom and Pippa Fletcher, but since then only Alf Stewart (Ray Meagher) and Sally Fletcher (Kate Ritchie) remain from the original cast, with Kate Richie due to depart the show in 2008.
