The Australian reports on our campaign!

Our blog gets a mention from The Australian newspaper today!

In its latest media round-up, the paper reports on the frustration felt by Australian fans of Out of the Blue following the shoddy treatment it's received from Ten.

Under the headline Big Blue, they point out that Out of the Blue has a loyal fanbase but has been shunted around the schedules right from the beginning. They also kindly give a link to this blog.

So, welcome to any new readers! We hope you enjoy what the site has to offer. This is pretty much the only website which gives regular updates on what's going on with the show, so if you want to be kept informed about schedule information, media coverage and what the cast are up to, bookmark us and check back often.

If you want to help the show, there are two main things you can do. First of all, the Save Out of the Blue petition and Out of the Blue Second Series petition are always in need of new signatures.

Secondly, if you're an Australian fan, contacting Ten to request a better slot and network backing for Out of the Blue would be another great thing to do. Many fans have been using the Contact Us forum on Ten's own website to do this, but they don't seem to pay any attention to it.

For that reason, we're recommending writing to your local Ten office using the relevant address on this page. It obviously takes a little bit more effort than using the internet, but if you're here, you'll probably agree that Out of the Blue is worth it. We won't get a new series of the show if things don't pick up in Australia, and the best way to make sure that happens is by keeping up the pressure for a regular timeslot on Ten - and not just one episode a week!

Finally, if you're looking for a place to chat to other fans, the Facebook group is very active, with multiple postings and discussions going on every day. Cast members have also been known to post on there, but you'll have to join to find out who!

Thanks for visiting and carry on supporting Out of the Blue!
