1 9 8 8 – 1 9 8 9 (Australia)
92 x 50 minute episodes
This Australian soap opera centred around a police station set in the (fictitious) suburb of Richmond Hill aired twice weekly at 7.30 pm on Channel Ten.
The show was created by Reg Watson, who had also created Neighbours.
Despite a satisfactory (if not stellar) ratings performance for 12 months, Channel Ten decided not to commission a further series for 1989 and to focus its efforts on E Street instead, saving themselves $300,000 a week in production costs.
Most of the cast were told late on a Friday evening not to return to work on Monday, only a month after several key cast members had their contracts renewed for 12 months.
