SONS AND DAUGHTERS Any idea what episode numbers these are? TVS 3/9/84 Angela has to make a decision 108?.......... 4/9/84 Jill is thrown into an emotional turmoil 109?............. 10/9/84 Fiona has suspicions about Carls motives 110?......... 11/9/84 111?........... 17/9/84 Fiona's visitor is shrouded in mystery 112?........//////// TVS then have two eps a week every week (approx 21 more) until//////////// 3/12/84 David's job is on the line at the truck depot........... 4/12/84 Next ep............ 10/12/84 John is foiled by the new love of his life (This same ep is on Granada on 3/2/86 but does not add up to where TVS should be)

Thanks for the TVS check. I think that one slot in 1986 was replaced at the last minute with a sudden live ITN news broadcast as the US space shuttle Challenger blew up in the air around 4.15pm on a Tues afternoon in Feb/Mar 1986. So TVS 5.15pm SAD would have been delayed to the following Mon. I had one ep too many for Sep 85 - Dec 86 if the other eps above are correctly numbered.

CENTRAL SAD 1983 = 15/12 ep113 An unexpected job offer brings Paul closer to the Hamiltons than expected, 16/12 114 Angela and Rob's plans for the future are foiled by an untimely arrival, 21/12 ep115 Pat & Gordon's marriage comes under threat, 22/12 ep 116 FINAL Pat's arrival in Melb throws Angela and Rob's wedding arrangements into turmoil. 23/12 ALL REGIONS HAD NETWORKED FILM INSTEAD. In 1983 many of Central and YTV's Wed - Fri slots were unavailable for SAD as there was networked racing & snooker instead. By the time the others started in Nov   the racing had moved to Ch4 and the snooker never interfered with the 3.30pm slot.

BORDER SAD DEC 1992 Would you agree with that these numbers correspond with the episodes?

7/12/92 Wayne makes a shocking decision to save his father 692?? 8/12 Caroline tries to get some information out of Duncan 693?? 14/12 Gordon's attempt to help James backfires 694?? 15/12 LAST EPISODE OF THE YEAR Fiona and Irene argue about Kelly 695?? 4/1/93 Doris takes desperate measures to stop Rod and Beryl's newfound happiness 696?? 5/1/93 Fiona's reaction to Irene's distressing news surprises everyone 697??

No regions had Sons and Daughters or Young Drs on Royal Wedding day in 1986. Network programming all afternoon.

The May 1986 regional eps could have been withdrawn for the announcement of the wedding possibly. This may have warranted newsflashes and extended news bulletins. When I have the time I will try to find out why the May ep was postponed.

Ulster SAD Jan 1989
It is highly unlikely (that as national TV guides suggest) that Ulster would have moved it to 3.30pm for just two eps at the start of 1989 and then replaced all 3.30pm slots with RTE soap Glenroe the week after. More likley is that Ulster had intended to screen SAD in a new slot Tues and Wed 3.30pm but probably changed their minds at a late stage after seeing poor ratings for TYD (played in that slot before), and then decdided to start a new batch of Glenroe episodes at 3.30pm from 9 Jan 1989. 12.30 in Jan and first half of Feb was used for a UTV quiz show. Will check local Belfast media to see what they reckon was shown on Tues 3 and Wed 4 Jan. Local media is much more accurate than national.

Thames Anglia TT Dec 1987
RE SONS AND DAUGHTERS/YOUNG DOCTORS DECEMBER 1987 435 on 22/12. SOme listings show that Thames had SAD on Tue29/12 which is odd as Thames had SAD on Wed - Fri only and not Tues. It's funny you should say that because i'm a Sons and Daughters episode out for 1986/1987 so i think the only way Episode 621 was the end of year episode in 1987 is if they did broadcast Episode 619 on Tuesday 29th December 1987.There could be a number of reasons why this happened but in my opotion it could have been A) in Place of the Young Doctors or B) (and more likely )Because the Friday slot was networked (due to it being New's year's as the date on that Friday was January 1st) Yes there is one year where this occurs (and is probabaly this one - my Sept to Dec 1987 details are not complete). It was probably also done as all other slots during the week would have had network programming. It would seem stupid and costly for the three regions to simply have a one off variation (different TYDs) on the Tues when they can just screen a SAD ep via Thames, especially as they would not have had a Fri ep on that week. Also people off work for that week would not have a clue what TYD was with just one ep and then gone again.

Thames Anglia TT 1984
During 1984 Thames/Ang/TT DID increase for a short time to four a week, but I am unsure of exactly when. It was for as short time somewhere between May and August. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)
