How far is the UK behind Australia with Home & Away episodes? Is it weeks, months or even years?

The UK is roughly 120 episodes behind Australia, which is 24 weeks, or approximately 6 months. The episodes used to be closer together when the show was on ITV, however, when it moved to Channel 5 no episodes were shown for a whole year due to a clause in the contract.

I don't know where you are from, but here in the US, season 3 has been on since early October. It is only supposed to run for about 6 weeks, and then return in January or February. \n\nAnd I don't know what channel 4 is, channel numbers are different everywhere.

Dailymotion.com, i watched the first 6 episodes though there is a break in USA until feb with the 7th episode.  I think they had a 'raid' on the site recently and that guy that uploaded them had to take em off again, but ive recently watched episodes 5 & 6.  There may be french subtitling at the bottom but its worth it just to get a sneak peek!\n\nOh and with regard to whoever said u can watch em on ABC.com, you can only watch em on their site if ur in the USA, and yes... they can tell.  I've tried!

repeats are generally frustrating, especially at tea time, and when you just want a bit of goggle box company. But more people will catch an episode they havnt seen this way (not having had sky for 8 years for example I tend to catch a new one)\n\nI'm still trying to figure out how when it comes to repeats I will either have (a) never seen the episode myself or (b) sat through it about eight times at one point of other in my life.

I just watched HBO's promotion and it said 3 episodes left before the season final episode.  I"m taking that as 4 left.   Now sometimes the last one is two hours so you may want to count it as 2.

I think it starts in January 2007, but don't take my word from it. I'm from California, which is nowhere near the UK. Hope you enjoy the episodes as much as I do. Each one keeps getting better and better.

So the second answer obviously has no clue what he is talking about.  The British version was two seasons and the American version is on it's third season.\n\nI'm not sure why it was only 2 seasons.  I would imagine that they only needed to have two seasons to tell the story.  I don't want to spoil it for you, but after you watch the 2 seasons and the one hour special they made for the finale, you will see what I mean.  The story is wrapped up and doesn't need anything more.\n\nthe US version shifter more away format the story and focused more on the characters.  Because of this it allows them to keep the story going in new directions without the audience really caring.

It takes time for the episodes to get from ITV to CBC.  I would imagine that the CBC receive a batch of episodes every so often, and they may not be able to air too many at once in order to keep behind.  From the online community I belong to, I have gathered that at one point there were episodes that were just six weeks old (this is about five-six years ago), so how we've got from there to being practically nine months behind, is beyond me.  There's also the fact that when the CBC used to air the show during the day that if it was pre-empted, they never used to air two double episodes, and before they started airing the show five nights a week, we were falling behind by a week every month - the UK showed five episodes a week while we only saw four.\n\nP.S. Don't forget we have two episodes to watch on Tuesday because there isn't one on Friday due to the Liberal Leadership Convention - at least we're not loosing episodes this week!
