Page 1 of The Last Ever Neighbours

(until the inevitable revival)

is on tonight on Channel 5 at 9pm (Friday 29th August 2022)

A mainstay of my adolescence, my friend had a Casio handheld TV, and we used to secretly watch it in the back of my history class; not so secretly after our teacher (an Aussie expat) found out and joined in. I loved those early episodes, the Ramseys and the Robinsons, Des and Daphne, Mrs Mangel, Bouncer...

I tuned out in the early nineties and haven't watched it since.

But Scott and Charlene are back for the final episode, so I might just have to tune in...

When I completed basic training in 1986 and was in a holding troop until posted to trade training school, we all used to congregate in the common room after a spot of lunch to catch up with Neighbours...

I used to watch it "ironically" in the 80s / 90s and as a student, etc. (yeah, that's right, watching a programme religiously for years that I "didn't enjoy") probably up to the point where some of the older alumni were in it - Natalie Imbruglia, Guy Pearce, possibly Russell Crowe. There was some surfer dude character who kept on having 'smoothies', and that's when I first learned what a smoothie was...

I'll probably watch it on catch-up at some point (ironically of course).

I'm only going to watch it is 'Bouncer' is in it!

Bouncer is back in it? I'm there!!!

Caught the last 20 minutes... suitably nostalgic, and a whole lot of cameos from the past. But I wasn't expecting Guy Pearce to give it his all for a Mike x Jane storyline.

4 months!

4 Months for inevitability to take root.

Amazon reviving Neighbours and it will be (ad-supported) free to stream

Kind of makes the whole end of an era thing feel emotionally manipulative, in the light, summery, 'want some quiche?' emotions that Neighbours engendered.
