The show has continued on Tuesdays in this timeslot for its entire run. The drama series features a mix of lighthearted comedy woven through the plot. It revolves around the Rafter family facing work pressures and life issues, whilst also tackling serious social issues. The Logie award winning series was the highest rating to screen on the Seven Network in 2008, and the show has consistently been among the top 5 shows of the year throughout its run in Australia. It was announced in TV Week that the sixth season of Packed to the Rafters would be the last, with Hugh Sheridan stating: "It's emotional letting go of Rafters – for all of us. It was such an amazing chapter in Aussie TV. I'm really proud we all came back together to send it off." The two-hour series finale of Rafters aired on 2 July 2013, which saw the return of Hugh Sheridan, Jessica Marais, Ryan Corr, Jessica McNamee and James Stewart. Rebecca Gibney said, "The cast, writers and producers have always said that we wanted to keep Rafters as one of the most-watched shows on TV. If we ever felt like we were losing too many cast members, we needed to end it on a high. We can say season six winds up an aspect of the Rafter family and there is a sense of finality to it." ## Streaming options in the United Kingdom ### Stream (subscription) - [Amazon Prime Video](https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=Packed%20to%20the%20Rafters&i=instant-video) - [Amazon Prime Video with Ads](https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=Packed%20to%20the%20Rafters&i=instant-video) ### Free (with ads or TV licence) - [Amazon Prime Video Free with Ads](https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=Packed%20to%20the%20Rafters&i=instant-video) ### Buy (digital download) - [Amazon Video](https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=Packed%20to%20the%20Rafters&i=instant-video) ## Frequently asked questions **Where can I stream Packed to the Rafters in the UK?** Packed to the Rafters (2008) is currently included in subscriptions to Amazon Prime Video and Amazon Prime Video with Ads in the United Kingdom.
