UK fans miss Rescue

After the final episode aired in the UK, British fans of Rescue Special Ops lament its demise.

British fans of Rescue Special Ops aren’t happy the show has been axed.

After the final episode aired in the UK because in the last 48 hours some fans have turned to the internet to look for answers, and ended up at TV Tonight:

Another Australian series given the axe! What’s wrong with you guys cutting series off at the knees when you get followings in other countries… please someone else take this series on!

I live in the U.K but I Love Australian tv show there the best of all every week night I watch Home & Away and Rescue Special Operations, Rescue is such a good show there may not of been that many people that watched it but we select few loved it. I hope they change their mind and bring out a new series.

Rescue Special ops is best i have seen on tv in uk and i’m already buy dvd is season 1 and 2, so i love it part of it. i got is sea patrol dvds from my family live australia give me of dvd by the sea patrol! sea patrol than now rescue special ops is axe feel me is not happy and sad. Im in UK!

I am not impressed !
Two great programmes, Sea Patrol and now Rescue Special Ops cancelled.
Are they mad?

I have just read this news and I am gutted! My wife and I watched this program from the start and we loved it, if it wasn’t getting the ratings it’s because it wasn’t advertised enough!! What a waste!!!

i’m gutted, i’m a uk viewer and i’ve watched special ops on the universal channel from the start, i also watched sea patrol! i cant believe the idiots thats make these series have axed them! you have so many good actors over in oz, its no wonder after getting this kind of treatment they all end up apearing in crap usa tv or bit parts in films!!!! sort it out channel nine.

Please please please reconsider and make at least 1 more series of this Fab programme or at least a Christmas special to clear up loose ends…will Dean and Lara finally get together, can Chase finally find a girlfriend,will Lachie go back in the SAS, Michelle finally gives into Vince’s charms or Vince and Heidi Ho get together after finding Michelle and Jordan in a compromising position??

I’m so annoyed, how can you cancel this amazing program? I love the story lines, the characters and location. Channel 9 Please please please reconsider.

Majorly gutted, just watched the finale of season 3 and what do i find out??? that its been axed!!! no more special ops, cant believe it, its one of the best programmes on tv. Please please please make more.

Axing Rescue Special Ops is a huge mistake. It makes me so angry that nothing has a conclusion. I loved this show in the UK . Why make such bad choices.

I am based in the UK and love the Aussie dramas RSO and sea Patrol…..so dissapointed that no more are to be made….Come on Channel 9 ..listen to the viewers and make some more.

I watch this in the uk it’s the best thing on tv why cut it short?? I have seen the final episode and nothing comes to a conclusion and there’s a whole load of new stories that could come out of it. I also heard it’s ratings in Australia had dramatically improved onseries three. Come on give us just one more series!! Pleeeeease.

Wow I’m really surprised about this, why would you end a program that is so good? I watch from England and I totally love it, can’t they just move it to a different channel or something? Same as sea patrol another program that I like. Ugh everything I start watching something it ends.

  1. Rescue Rescue!! the show is awesome!! i dont get engrosed in many tv shows but rescue special ops totally has! it annoys me how foolish tv companies can be. someone please get the rights and make a new series!

  2. im so p*ssed off theyy ended sea patrol, and now rescue special ops. sea patrol was only okay because they ended it with an alright ending. but rescue hasnt even had an ending they didnt even tell us if lara was leaving rescue ! one of the best australian tv show around!

  3. jessica totally agree we need a proper ending!!!they excited us with the dean/lara storyline from the beginning and didnt follow it through and give us the ending!!

  4. Come on! I love rescue! why end it you have a massive fan base from what I hear.
    why don’t the writers buy the writes of RSO and sell it to a company who will give it the respect it deserves? I Love RSO. keep making them, we need to know if hidie and jordan will get back together and if dean and lara will..did you ever consider what the actors or viewers want?

  5. What I don’t get is that channel 9 had a subsidy from the Australian government upto 65 episodes! They could do one more series and finish what they started. They owe us a proper ending at least!! Or another channel could pick it up!! Clearly it has a following…. Worldwide!!

  6. I’ve set up a forum for axed Australian shows, and it also includes some fanfiction – including a written season four for Rescue Special Ops, and in progress is season five. I’m in Australia, and I’m just as gutted as all of you, so check out the forum!!!

  7. Well I guess it’s over for real, they have sold the building they filmed it in in naremburn 🙁 no chance of series 4 . I hope they realise the mistake they have made!! But I know they won’t!

  8. I absolutely love this show!!!!! It is extremely entertaining, fantastic cast, good ideas and great action. I can’t believe that it has been cancelled, leaving everything in the middle of nowhere. The cast were amazing and I think they really connected to the audience. I am really, horribly disappointed that there is no more Rescue.

  9. us pommies dont all go to mcdonalds for breakfast and didnt all decide to trash our towns!!!! and no maybe rescue didnt blow the ratings apart but it was damn good television! not everyone on this page will agree i know but hey all we want is a proper bloody ending!! at least british channels play theyre own rugby matches…live!!! channel 9 couldnt even manage that one! we do have good drama here in britain but aussie drama is different! life would be very dull if we all liked the same as some of you!!

  10. These people who are complaining wouldn’t be the same bright sparks who trashed their local KFC and McDonald’s and now have to travel further to get their breakfast each morning would they?

  11. This show wasn’t popular in the UK.
    I’m sure all cancelled shows have had a few fans complain about its demise.
    Winners and Losers will be shown on one of the major channels next year(itv) so has a better chance of international success.

  12. I have to say that I watched the first episode and didn’t like the idea of one rescue team travelling from Sydney to the Blue Mountains. I gave up after one ep, but then I started catching later episodes and the chracters started growing on me. I will admit it wasn’t the best scripted show at times, however the actors delivered good quality performances, they gelled as a cast and it was entertaining, even if sometimes the events were not always believable. It was still enjoyable, so I understand that the British would have enjoyed the extra things that we Aussies take for granted, greate scenery, sunshine, surf and good looking characters.

  13. Really? I thought the Poms usually had good taste in tv shows, ok excluding Essex maybe. But of all the Australians shows (City Homicide, Rush), they’re upset about Rescue Crap Name. The show was terrible.

  14. Yes. For once I agree with all those British prunes- bring back RSO. it wasn’t the best series, it didn’t rate well, but it did do business. Getting a stable audience of around 800k nowerdays is good enough. Nine should reconsider axing the show, especially if it has a large overseas following.
