Latest updates

The first week of Out of the Blue's new arrangement on Fiver has been a bit of a fiasco. Fans on Facebook have reported that the 6.45am slot has become a free-for-all, with nobody aware of what episode is supposed to be airing in that slot. It was originally thought that the show's 2 airings each day would now be the same episode, but 6.45am has even seen mad stuff like the same episode airing two days in a row. Now it's back being the repeat, so the first chance to see each episode on Fiver is in the 4.05pm slot... for now anyway.

As always, fans can watch on Demand Five but that's been erratic too, with dates not corresponding to episodes correctly and an incorrect synopsis being put up from a future episode which gave lots away. Let's hope these teething problems will soon be over. Fortunately, the 4.05pm slot hasn't seen any issues, and that's when most fans will be watching.

In other news, Aussie ratings fans will be interested to hear that Episode 52 pulled in 319,000 viewers this week, ranking 29th for the day. That's a rise of 52,000 from last week and a rise of 90,000 from what it had two weeks ago. Additionally, it's the highest figure that it's managed since being taken out of its 10.30pm slot in January. Remember that at 10.30pm it used to average around 335,000 but was showing strong signs of growth (coming close to the 400,000 mark) before Ten got rid.

The figure still isn't great for the timeslot, but given the uniquely crap position Out of the Blue has been put in on Ten, any rise in figures is probably a feat in itself. Let's hope it can keep it up - Aussie fans are, as always, encouraged to keep spreading the word about the show. Our Youtube videos may help! Just click the links on the right hand side of the page.
