[QUOTE="AndyB2008, post: 366018, member: 26097"] Headland had the first look episode of Hollyoaks as a lead in, so C4\E4 were hoping the Hollyoaks audience would stay for Headland. Unfortunately not the case. C5 spin off channel Fiver (now 5*Star) had the same idea after Neighbours was acquired when they got the repeat rights to short lived soap Out of The Blue. (Southern Star, who produced and distributed the show, hoped if it was successful on Fiver than it was on the BBC, the show may be revived). Out of The Blue was given the Neighbours lead out slot at 7.30pm (Neighbours was airing at 7pm back then), with repeats of the sitcom 8 Simple Rules moving to a earlier timeslot. Out of The Blue sadly with the lead in was rating lower than 8 Simple Rules was. 8 Simple Rules returned to 7.30pm, and Out of The Blue was moved to 4pm midway. [/QUOTE]
