B&B August 2023 Discussion Thread
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. 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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

The theme music was slightly updated from episode 2053 (June 1995). This being the episode where Sheila “dies”after taking the Forrester’s hostage and drinks poison. The theme was still 33 seconds after the update. I believe the 42 second version debuted in December 1995 - not sure on exact date or episode number at this point.

The bad quality YT uploads are very much deliberate, as is the missing score music cues on Season 10. It’s purely about business and revenue. With Videoland (RTL) commencing season 9 just last month, how does Bell ensure RTL get value for money after paying coin. Ah yes, let’s upload bad quality on YT and strip the music, thus ensuring international broadcasters still buy their show. They must continue to appease Videoland/RTL so they stay onboard, what better way than to upload bad quality on YT. Videoland has a broad reach, available to 30 EU countries outside of the Netherlands. If YT was high quality, a major broadcaster like RTL wouldn’t bother forking out millions to continue buying the rights. If YT was high quality, people wouldn’t pay for Videoland, they would go to directly to YT for convenience, and of course it’s free. The bad quality YT thing is very much strategic. Not buying the “oh, we’re fixing that”

I don’t see what the issue is here? If Hunter wanted flexibility to have a break, spend time with family, or pursue other things then good on her. Not sure why it’s frowned upon with these comments. Today, employers provide hybrid and flexible work environments, which employees welcome.

They don’t care. They know the problems exist, yet do nothing. We are still waiting on missing episodes from season 4 which they promised. Seasons 22-26 were uploaded twice (the second time as a daily episode and in worse quality than the initial release). Only left or right audio for half of season 4 into season 5. No background score music or closing credits on season 10. 360p resolution from about season 3 onwards, yet we got 720p/1080p for seasons 1&2. Interns would do a better job. Sorry for the rant lol

Videoland episode is fully uncut. The YT upload of ep# 390 encountered an error, like a handful of others (you can “see” the full episode is there when you toggle the player). The official YT channel promised to fix the error at the time, I guess they haven’t. In fact, let’s be honest, the entire YT channel is a joke. They upload seasons that have already been uploaded in full. Interns!?

Some episodes have the subtitles embedded, and some do not. Most of the recent episodes on VL have auto-generated subtitles which can be toggled on/off via the player settings. If you don’t see the on/off toggle (on the player), this means the subtitles are embedded into the episode. Refer here on how to turn subtitles on/off: https://hulp.videoland.com/hc/nl/articles/5964100510236-Hoe-kan-ik-ondertiteling-aanzetten-

Bull. You were asking people to comment on their looks - that was your original question. Nowhere did you state in your first post that they were interested in being on the show, in fact, where’s the citation on that? I’m far from mean, just calling out the BS when I see it. Shame on you.

BOLD promo "What will Sheila do next?"
I’m getting 2002 vibes when Sheila showed up at Ambers, complete with a thunderstorm and the rain jacket!

I know you weren’t, all good. 😘 Haha I feel like going back to the beginning too. However watching 360p YouTube on a 65” TV is horrendous. But I agree with what you said, very grateful we have access to relive these memories. The YT channel needs a massive cleanup, it’s beyond comprehension why they reupload seasons that are already uploaded. 🧐🤨
