  1. I love RFDS but I didn’t watch it last night as I was in bed by 9pm – I’ve recorded it to watch later.
    I wish it was on after H&A – an earlier time slot would be great for an Aussie drama.

  2. I gave Nurses a go, I really did, but couldn’t get involved or much interested in the storylines…Perhaps its just the ‘same- same’ format we have seen countless times before, and it doesn’t hold a candle against ye olde 24 Hours In Emergency for pace and drama and characters.
    Just a bit lacklustre I thought and I won’t be returning.
    Plus the Sydney – centric shots are good for the UK version , but not of appeal to the rest of Australia IMO.

  3. People continually complain that the networks don’t produce enough local drama and too many stripped reality shows but then, when a new Australian show such as RFDS is released, it is not supported by these same people.

    Drama is expensive to produce especially as it has few of the opportunities of in-show sponsorship that come with reality shows. If it isn’t supported, you can’t blame the networks for not bothering with it.
