Home (1983)
I wonder what's on the other side?
5 September 2003
A very very long running series, this was among the first of the Aussie soaps to be shown in the UK during the early 1980s, along with The Young Doctors. Set in a children's home, we followed the lives of the young tykes as they 'nicked off' (played truant) from school, committed thefts and burglaries, or even settled down with their new foster families. Unlike most of these Aussie imports, it was actually shown in England the same year that it was made, and not 15 years later when all the fashions have changed. The theme music was quite jaunty and much over-used as I recall, and went something like:

'Home, home, home on the other side. 'Yeah, you've got to get yourself sorted so you know it's gonna be alright.' I may be totally wrong though.
