Channel 5's commissioning editor Greg Barnett announced this anniversary celebration: "I’m delighted we are marking Home and Away’s 35th anniversary with this special My5 event packed with memorable moments and much-loved characters. Fans young and old should find something great they remember and love. Over the years, there’s certainly been plenty of drama in Summer Bay.”

Alf actor Ray Meagher added: "What a lovely way to pay homage to our 35 years on air by celebrating our most beloved moments. I’ve been fortunate enough to be a part of the Home and Away family since the very beginning, and I couldn’t be prouder of the work our talented cast and crew put in to making our show the success it continues to be today… I hope fans enjoy looking back at these episodes just as much as we enjoyed making them.”
