Neighbours

 Neighbours

Far away in a distant Galaxy, a new type of show appeared on BBC One in the year of our lord 1986 in October, so a   relationship was built with a group of television programmes from Australia, bringing us the viewer sun, family entertainment it was shown during the lunchtime and being the BBC it was repeated the following day.
It was Michael Grade BBC controller at this time whose daughter advised him t move the morning broadcast to a late afternoon slot due to the fact she and her friends missed the repeat in the morning due to being at school this happened in January of 1990 this what made it so popular, as millions of children around Britain would come back from school and sit down to watch the latest instalment.
Neighbours are about a group of residents that live on Ramsay Street which is a Cul -De -Sac and its neighbouring area, Lassiteres complex which had a bar, hotel, cafe, police station, and lawyers. Office and even a Park.
 Neighbours began with three families created by Watson – the Ramsays, the Robinsons and the Clarke to show three families who are friends living in a small street. The Robinsons and the Ramsays had a long history and were involved in an ongoing rivalry which regularly features in the series.
The series features a real cul-de-sac called Pin Oak Court and the residents of the houses allowed the production crew to film external scenes and is part of popular tourist visits.

Neighbours Fact.

The street was named after the grandfather of the original character Max Ramsay.
In its heyday, it was watched by millions and created a lot of well-known musicians, and actors who went on to be famous.

Most Bizarre Episode

Hands down it has to be the one Where Bouncer a labrador had a dream of getting married to a fellow day, it remains a cult classic.

Most Famous Episode.

The wedding between the characters of Scott and Charlene was watched by over 20 million people and featured a future number one record, Suddenly by
Angry Anderson.

Moved Channel

The BBC stopped showing Neighbours and Channel five took it over as part of their daytime television programmes.

Why have I written about this show to lots of people it was a big part of their formative years of growing up it will be fondly remembered for the entertainment it gives, it is sad it will be the last ever episode an on Friday 29 July 2022 it the end of an era, I suspect somewhere that is the ever-growing streaming service it gets repeated, All my family, extended family until present day watched Neighbours as like many other an around Britain and the world I miss this slice of Australian Soap, they are only one way to finish this post.

(Neighbours everybody needs good neighbours
With a little understanding
you can find the perfect blend

Neighbours should be there for one another
That’s when good neighbours
become good friends)
