This is great news.. I love Wesley and Bridget.. they are my favourite! Go Winners and Losers, quality Aussie drama. Now my family can share the love in the UK!
Any news of when Season 2 will air over here?
I wonder if it will make it as big as Neighbours and Prisoner over there.
why not packed to the rafters? at least thats a decent aussie show…
Bad enough we have to suffer through this tripe, let alone inflicting it on other countries!
About time they got this in the UK.Over there from memory when I went in June they only have the disgustingly middle aged by comparison Sex and the City and Desperate Housewives and nothing for the younger generation who are over the OC type shows from the last decade.
As much as I like this show, a leading drama and smashing ratings?
It was announced that she will return in the Second Season, I assume to mess with the dynamic again.
It will be ironic if they show it on ITV2HD as well.
What a wasted asset Michaela was, what ever happened to her? I loved the way she messed with the group’s dynamic.
