2008 a great year for Aussie drama

2008 is going to be a great year for fans of Aussie TV drama.

New series to screen this year include Canal Road, starring former Neighbours actor Brooke Satchwell (Anne Wilkinson), and Packed to the Rafters, a new comedy drama that will follow the Rafter family, headed by Rebecca Gibney and Erik Thomson. Michael Caton (The Castle, The Sullivans) co-stars.

Filming is also set to start on the BBC commissioned Out of the Blue, it's not yet known whether it will also air on an Australian channel.

The Nine Network and Fremantle Media announced they are to resuscitate the popular 70s soap The Young Doctors. To be called simply Young Doctors, it will be a modern take on the original and is being billed as a cross between Grey's Anatomy and Secret Life of Us.

Last year, new dramas City Homicide and Sea Patrol performed very well in the ratings Down Under, and UK viewers are hoping these and the other new series will be picked up by a British terrestrial or digital channel.
