Just a quick follow-up to our post the other day on the frustration felt by Australian fans of Out of the Blue following constant schedule changes and generally ridiculous treatment...
When Ten secured the Australian rights to Out of the Blue last year, a spokesperson said: "We are thrilled... Out of the Blue has a great script, exciting casting and is a fresh and engaging series from the very first minute. The show is a perfect inclusion to Ten's strong stable of shows for 2008."
High praise indeed, but if they believed it was so great, why did they keep the show off air for months, debut it in an unreasonable late-night slot, then try to kill it off altogether by moving it to a once-a-week slot after the show performed inexplicably well at 10.30pm with no promotion?
The next episode on Ten will see Blade taking revenge against Bec. If this storyline, or indeed most of the show's plots, aired on Neighbours or Home and Away, they'd be praised for pushing the boundaries of serial drama with fresh and creative storytelling. Sadly, due to the treatment from Ten, many Aussie soap fans are missing out on these fantastic moments.
