Trivia
Debra Lawrance replaced Vanessa Downing as Pippa Fletcher in 1990, however after her own departure in 1998, the show continued to use both actresses' likeness in flashbacks and photographs throughout the series, possibly the only television serial to do so.

Goofs
Throughout the years, numerous characters have referred to "the city" (meaning Sydney) as being either "up" or "down" from Summer Bay. The general consensus, however, is that Summer Bay is north of Sydney (approximately 100km away), as is the real-life filming location.

Quotes
[repeated line]
Alf Stewart: Stone the flamin' crows!

Crazy credits
In June 1996 the credits changed so Shane approaches from the other side of the screen, causing Angel to be confused.

Comment

I have to say that I am from the UK and i love and always have loved Home and Away. I've watched it since Pippa and Sally, Michael and Bobby and Marilyn were in it!! Just to say not all people in the UK don't like Home and Away. Many just prefer Eastenders and all the British soaps because they are home-grown and because to them, Home and Away is sometimes not as real-life and gritty as British soaps-not taking anything away from Home and Away as it is a brilliantly entertaining programme. Anyway, just wanted to comment on the last comment posted. Also, this is one good video -classic Home and Away with lots of the old classic characters from the beginning!
