Hi,

I wondered if anyone had any information about the hours that are worked on these shows; I think all the current shows - except for B&B are on for 5 hours per week, with B&B on for 2 and a half.

The reason I ask is that I have done some work experience recently on a soap opera in England called 'Emmerdale' a prime time soap opera that is on for 3 hours a week.

The filming schedule was relentless with more or less each day being a twelve hour day; definitely not glamourous - this showbiz thing lol.

Just wondered with 7 of your soaps being on an hour every day and with the cast numbers not being large on each show whether they work 7 days a week. Not neccessarily all the cast doing 7 days but if there is always something being shot each day.
