Storyline and plot
Created by Sarah Lambert, Love Child is an Australian drama television series that focuses on the lives and work of employees and patients at a hospital in Sydney, Australia. The series originally aired on Nine Network in February of 2014. Currently in its fourth season, Love Child series 4 premiered on May 2nd, 2017.
In this series, workers and patients at a fictional hospital in Stanton House fight the unjust government system, which forces underage mothers to give up their children for adoption. Set in the 1960’s, the show depicts all of the struggles of the mothers in trying to save or later find their children, as well as the ethical battles of the hospital staff, the members, who try to fight their locked in emotions and just do their job, no matter how difficult it may be. Providing a great recreation of the important era of sexual and cultural revolution of the ‘60’s in Australia, the series shows the people of today what women went through at that time.
Overall ratings and a possible season 5
The average viewing figures per episode during this current season so far hovers around the 0.6 mark, which is a slight drop from the previous seasons, but the Award winning show scores amazing overall ratings, such as the solid 7.7 out of 10 stars on IMDb, which firmly puts this show into the top categories. The very important issue, which is depicted in this series in such a tasteful and honest way, plus the huge fan base of Love Child may just be enough for Nine Network to renew the show for at least one more season. .

If anyone hears Seasons 4/5 being shown in the UK would they kindly post on here with the Channel/Day/Time please. Many thanks.

Hi, there Marky Mark
I'm in the UK. Any idea of what channel here has picked up Season 4 please?
Thank you.

Totally agree. It would easily follow the phenomenal success of 'Call the Midwife' if it was broadcast on a Sinday evening.
Why on earth doesn't the Australian Sales and Marketing push that point to Ch4 - and if they don't have any joy then offer it to the BBC (who already show 'A place to call home' and The Doctor Blake Mysteries' - both of which are excellent).
.
I am genuinely going to miss this joyful program...
Austalian Sales&Marketing staff for this programme should refer all the UK feedback to
ChFour
Or maybe, if they aren't legally committed to selling to ChFour, they could approach the BBC as they already show a number of excellent Australian programmes including A Place to Call Home and The Doctor Blake Mysteries, both of which are excellent.
Sorry, my iPad suddenly isn't allowing me to use figures in this Comments space, hence the references to ChFour!
Fabulous series (ditto 'A Place to call home' as mentioned by previous reviewer and shown here on BBC1). The Ch4 network consistently moved 'Love Child' around, with the last series (3) being transmitted in the early hours of the morning. Luckily I was able to set SeriesRecord on my Virgin TiVo box so it was always picked up.
Ch4 programmers should have the sense to realise that 'Love Child' could be THEIR success story to equal the phenomenal success of the BBC 's 'Call the Midwife' and should rerun it from the start on a Sunday evening where it would certainly get higher viewing figures than what thet usually show the . It just needs someone with imagination and foresight at Ch4 to realise. Or maybe the BBC could take over the viewing rights????!

Top class acting, brilliant writing and a music score to die for!!
We live in the UK and really hope Channel 4 / More 4 decide to show series 4 and if so, don't tuck it away at 2.20 in a morning.
This deserves prime time and they could probably repeat the first three series and achieve really good ratings prior to showing the fourth series.
Thank you to all concerned with the production for a brilliant show.
Found this by accident and binged watched all three series, Watching from Dublin Ireland - please keep making this show sell it to the world if Australia is not interested in watching. Love Love this show xxx
I stumbled across it by accident on UK tv . Totally hooked. I couldn't wait to come home and snuggle down to watch these series.
Please hurry with series 4.
I already have withdrawal symptoms! I watched the last one today.
Don't stop making them.. keep them coming.. best series on the TV . Thank you!!!
