The comment thread on YouTube episode 3271 is appalling. What is wrong with people?!

Is it just me or the constant attacks on KKL's appearance in the 1999-2000s era in the YouTube comments is rather.... toxic?

Yep it’s disgusting. I read a handful of comments on one of the S13 episodes released today (link below) - the comments are abhorrent.

It’s the same 8-10 YT users that constantly post about her hair, body, eyes - it’s happening on almost every episode. Others are more aggressive and derogatory and say “KKL is …”.

The same core users are now posting “Morgan is so ugly” against Sarah Buxton. I wish the official YT channel would ban these users, or shut off comments but this would ruin engagement with the good folk I guess.

It looks like they're going to skip episode 3243 on the YouTube channel tomorrow. 

It’s likely the private one. The entire season has been uploaded to the playlist, but only a handful of future episodes are listed as “public”, the rest are private. They’ve likely just forgotten to make 3243 public. Let’s hope we get to see it.

Rewatching the 1995 episodes and was Taylor's  "stalker" ever revealed to be Sly or was that dropped ?

No, but Stephanie suspected it was Sly. He attacks Taylor twice (eps 2108 and 2119).

The Season 13 thumbnails say, it is 1080p FULL HD

The first 4 do. Episodes 5-11 don’t seem to have the HD tag. Hopefully it’s just a minor oversight.

I posted it because I love the scene.

Ok. Your original post had no caption or commentary, this made me wonder your intention with the clip - given your username and avatar is directed at Brooke.

Not sure why you posted this clip? Was it to incite negative commentary from other forum users, towards (let me guess), Brooke?

There's 40 duplicates in this folder in 1996 that are also in the subsequent folder. Are they able to be removed to free up some space? Thank you 

To the angel, we thank you as always. Do you mind ensuring episodes are dropped into folders corresponding with correct numbering. If a folder doesn’t exist, you can create freely. I have created folder “Episodes 2401-2451 (English)” for you. The first episode of 1997 is 2452. 

Can someone with admin rights lift and shift incorrect episodes sitting inside the following 1996 folders:

- Episodes 2351-2400 (English)

- Episodes 2251-2300 (English)

Removing the duplicates will ensure we don’t hit storage capacity. Thanks so much.

Winsor Harmon takes over the role of Thorne in episode 2437 (Jeff Trachta 619-2436).

What are they doing? First the two episodes without music, now one episode is missing... And I still got no response from them when or if they are going to reupload those two with missing music and now this happens

There are about 10 episodes without music since VL started. It isn't their fault, its a distribution error.

I don't feel its a major deal a few episodes have missing cue music (although if there is an alternate broadcast of those episodes that would be fab). I can count on both hands the frequency this has happened on Videoland. It is clearly a distribution error by BBL, rather than a Videoland error. I had a list of episodes without music cues but I must have deleted, sorry.

Re the quality on YouTube, I think I mentioned a while back this is 100% a business strategic decision. They do not want perfect quality episodes sitting on a free platform that can be downloaded. Perfect quality HD episodes will always be behind a paywall - they have recently began adding old episodes to Google Play too.

I was watching the Sheila accidet and i think that may be in the Hospital Sheila was not only beaten up but also raped by those two women, am i right?

When Sheila was reciting her prison hospital experience (in a conversation to Brooke) - she used words to the effect of "the unthinkable" when referring to the bashing. Not sure how two women could rape another woman though?

Can’t wait for the Sheila vs Maggie poker incident! 

Episodes 2333/4 for that!

Hi guys. Have Videoland made an error labelling episodes? They’re saying episode 2305 is the first episode of Season 11, but this episode aired on 4 June 1996 (CBS). A season premiere date in June seems incorrect?

On VL, Season 10 is labelled 2240-2304 (65 episodes), not the usual ~250 eps per season. I assume a mistake? 2240 aired 1 March 1996 (CBS).

It got me thinking though, does anyone know which season/year they changed the season premiere date from March to September? The change-a-roo surely meant one season in particular had more than usual ~250 episodes because the season ran from March-September (the following year)? 

Thanks in advance

It's not that big...but there is a difference and more pixels. The videoland app looks much better.

Confirming Videoland have episodes upscaled to 1080p - and they look amazingly sharp and fresh!

When @rsclassicfanforeverwas providing episodes, he captured them in 1080p also. The current angel uploads in 360p resolution, from a screenrecording I believe. There is a notable difference with pixilation when viewing the recent episodes on a large screen for example. But thankful nonetheless to all contributors! Thanks angels!

Thanks for the uploads. Something minor…. Can someone move episode 2197 from 1996 into the 1995 folder, and also update the numbering on the folders. Episode 2198 is the first episode of 1996 (as per copyright date). Thanks.

@boldau do you have the figures from last year to compare?

Same week last year / this year for 10play (trailing 7 days). Episodes stream same pace as CBS.

As an outsider, I would assume that TEN feels they NEED B&B as a catalyst for the Neighbors return and therefore as lead-in...

Yes, correct. 10 envisage that Neighbours *could* be a good lead-in to the 5pm news, however time will tell. In saying that, Bold before Neighbours may give it a solid prop - a decent soap hour!

However, there has been some noise over the move which takes effect 18 September, which will likely increase once people realise the change has happened. Bold has been a great lead-in to 10’s 5pm news since February 1996 (when Bold moved from 1pm to 4.30pm). Bold’s new 4pm timeslot may fail given that Fridays episode will air at 4.30pm. Neighbours will not air on Friday’s (worldwide output will be Mon-Thurs only). The inconsist timeslot may damage Bolds brand on 10. More info here if you wish to read.

Though 10 is bumping it from its timeslot for the return of Neighbours to an earlier slot. They have also been screwing around with its repeat airings in the mornings in the last year.

10 shuffled their mornings in January this year (to shorten Studio 10 which was failing). The Bold replay moved from 7.30am to 9.30am. Bold gets more eyeballs at 9.30am - mums/dads have done school drop off, Today show etc. has finished.

“With B&B downtrending in ratings and a coupled along with a recent complete ratings collapse in Australia…”

Completely incorrect. Bold is number 1 week on week (trailing 7 days) on 10play and has been for some time. 10’s broadcast remains steady.

2003 episodes have some very interesting variatons of the opening all the time. Bored opening editor had a feel day it seems  It’s still looks and sounds good though.

From circa 1998, the opening would alternate between the mid (35 second) and longer (42 second) variation. A “bumper” 10 second opening debuted somewhere along the tracks, but I can’t remember exactly when (guessing circa 2000?). 

Since ~2004/5 to now, they adopted a more consistent model where the episode length is the same for 4 out of 5 episodes in any given week. The 5th episode is always 40 seconds longer because it features the 70 second closing credits. The longer closing doesn’t always appear on the same day each week.

Second half of 95 wasn’t all too bad:

- Prince Omar’s storyline concludes, Is Taylor still Ridge’s legal wife [2083]

- Anthony gets caught on tape/Sally shot [2091]

- Dylan and Maggie’s affair begins

- Taylor attacked by a masked intruder, twice [2108, 2119] 

- Jessica’s diabetes

- Eric thinking he has a chance with Taylor 

- Sally hires Mike Guthrie (and Eric too), Sally/Mike steal Forrester designs

- Lauren moves to LA

- Sheila’s prison/psych hospital storyline [2163], multiple bloodied fights and hair-pulling with other inmates, Stephanie strangled by an inmate

- Forrester fashion show, Eric “proposes” to Sally [2178]

- Sheila’s release [2188], manipulation of Brooke and James begins

The longer 42-second opening first debuts on episode 2177. Broadcast Friday, 1 December 1995.

So is there an episode actually missing, or it just threw off the numbers because one is doubled?

Confirming VL have fixed the error in the past 24 hours. They had duplicated 2154 and 2157, meaning 2155 and 2158 was the same as the aforementioned. This resulted in the correct two episodes being skipped.

They have now added 2155 and 2158, however, confusingly, the thumbnails are still duplicated, but the content is now correct - as is the numbering. Woo hoo!

Are his teeth still yellow? They were during his first episode

Are yours?

To the angel uploading episodes… Just a note to advise Videoland have made an error by uploading two duplicate episodes (2154 and 2156) which they have not yet addressed. The duplicates have resulted in incorrect episodes numbers from 2155 onwards. They don’t appear to reply to Twitter requests to fix the error.

Amazing! Thank you so much Angel!

Do we know if ep 1948 aired in 1994 or 1995? The end credits say 1994 but the episode guide says it's the first episode of 1995.

If it was the first episode to air in 1995, wouldn’t it have been produced in 1994 though?

An angel has finished off 1994 in the Vault. Thanks so much!

Thanks to the angel. The resolution is less than the previous angel was providing, but still good and appreciated nonetheless. It’s definitely much better quality than YouTube - anything is better than that! 

Noticed episode 1941 cuts off at 13 minutes, even though the description says it’s the full 20 minutes.

At time of writing, Videoland is up to episode 2120, Macy and Thorne’s wedding.
