Hi David
I recorded last night Home and away on seven for 3 episodes but I went to watch it and the AFL was on ….instead did they show 3 episodes on seven two or was it just the one last night on thanks for you help
There’s only one number listed in ratings so I suspect one ep, but maybe some other fans can help or check 7plus.
thanks David
In NSW was only one ep.
7:30-8:30 (or so) was yet another Ambulance clone then a crime repeat.
It was a single in Qld and a brief synopsis can summarise it, either catch up on 7’s streaming service or watch the recap on Monday night.
