To wish there was a TV channel just for Aussie dramas?

[AllOnMyOwnSometimes]

Having just fell down a rabbit hole on YouTube, it got me thinking how much I’d love a tv channel where Aussie classics could be shown from the beginning.

Obviously Neighbours would be a shoe in, but also The Flying Doctors, The Henderson Kids, definitely A Country Practice and the must be so many more?

Any other suggestions for my fantasy TV channel?

I really liked Brides of Christ, it came out in the early 90's and starred Naomi Watts.
Also yes to The Sullivans and A Country Pratice.

I loved winners and losers so if it had that on it, then I’d definitely want that channel.

Me too, love a good Aussie drama!

There is a new Royal Flying Doctors, Brax from home and away is in it 😊 I enjoyed it, think it was more4.

Also The Newsreader, set in a newsroom in 1980s, he's also in that too, it was very good.

I loved All Saints, A Country Practice, etc back in the day.

But would definitely recommend A Place To Call Home, it was brilliant.

Oh and Five Bedrooms again with Brax from Home and Away.......I swear I do not follow him from TV show to TV show, he just keeps turning up in them 😁

Oh forgot about Brides Of Christ that was great too.

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Prisioner. This was the best thing on TV in the 90s, it was on on a Tues and Thursday night and everyone would be talking about what happened in school the next day. They were reruns. Because no-one has suggested it maybe it was just huge in Ireland in the 90s? I'd love to watch it again.

Wentworth had nothing on the original.

Oops, just saw it was one of the first suggestions 🙈

Ohh I remember The Sullivans, Young Doctors and Country Practice...... I love a Aussie drama. Will definitely have to look up some of the newer ones on here though

Water Rats, Sea Change.

The Thorn Birds, though technically it was American.

A Town Like Alice was brilliant

Another vote for Home and Away, and Kath and Kim!
Masterchef Australia (the only reality tv show, NO others!)
Under Belly (quite dark/violent, but gripping)

And the Dr Blake Mysteries! I loved that one. Would love to see the Henderson Kids again too.

I remember police rescue, enjoyed that too.

Definitely A Place to Call Home, watched it all twice
The Doctor Blake Mysteries
Five Bedrooms

Maybe we could also resurrect Skippy

Acorn on Prime has loads of Aus/NZ dramas 😄

What would you call the channel? Bruce? Sheila?

Reelgood and JustWatch websites will tell you where you can watch all of these dramas.

I've got every episode of Prisoner Cell Block H on DVD.

Lachlan or Lachie would be more like it these days.

Bangkok Hilton with Nicole Kidman from 1989 was really good.

We’re watching The Newsreader atm

Well acted etc it’s a current show not old, but it’s really good and a huge trip down memory lane as it’s set during childhood events in 80s

Loved Flying Doctors.
Also Cop Shop.

I have been watching McLeods Daughters on Amazon prime.

Have any of you tried to access Aussie channels 10, 9 or 7 from the UK? Would they work? They have a lot of stuff that you can stream and watch live.

I loved the Aussie drama,s of the 80,s but there only seemed to be about six actors, they were all in the same programmes 🤣
