This was only for their last few months though and was because LWT moved their local news to 5:15 and so there was time to fill.
Before that, and after Carlton started, Home and Away started at 5:10 and straddled the two stations airtime.
For many years H&A was on at 5:10 on Fridays and 6:00 Monday-Thursday in London. That was because LWT always had an hour long magazine show at 6. That ended in the spring of 1992 ready for LNN starting in the new year so they could move H&A to be at 6 all week
