Something in the Air (TV series)

Something in the Air is an Australian television soap opera transmitted by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation between 2000 and 2002. It was one of the first programs in Australia to be filmed in widescreen. It won the AACTA Award for Best Television Drama Series in 2001.

The series initially screened four episodes weekly, Monday to Thursday at 6:30 pm, and was a moderate success. Ratings began to drop after the show was moved to Saturday evenings, and was cut down to two episodes shown in a one-hour block. It later resumed its four-episode weekly run, but it was screened in a 6:00 pm timeslot, putting it up against the high-rating Seven and Nine news bulletins, and that ultimately led to its cancellation.

The series was repeated on the-then ABC2 from 11 February 2008.
