@odeliagardens a common tactic used to launch dramas/soaps with the hope of building up an audience by the time ratings started in the new year. The Young Doctors, The Sullivans, The Restless Years, A Country Practice, Sons And Daughters, Home And Away, Blue Heelers all launched in summer non-ratings periods.
so this premiered in the ratings off-season? Also it didn't open with the familiar White Valiant cop car entering police headquarters with the theme tune.
Tapes used to be delivered from HSV on a Monday for Tuesday TX. I remember cleaning heads on the run as the 2" tapes used to clog all the time... Hmm, HSV always used recycled tapes! As soon as I heard the Cop Shop playoff, which ran 5 seconds, I knew I should pre-roll the commercials...
They weren't really a couple of queers at the start of the episode... everyone just behaved that way in the 70's. LOL
