Neighbours began with three families created by Watson — the Ramsays, the Robinsons and the Clarkes. Watson said that he wanted 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.
All of the houses featured are real and the residents allow the production to shoot external scenes in their yards. The interior scenes are filmed at the Global Television studios in Forest Hill. Through its entire run in Australia, Neighbours has been screened as a twenty-two-minute episode each weeknight in an early-evening slot.
Neighbours moved to Ten's digital channel, Eleven later rebranded 10 Peach on 11 January , and it is currently broadcast each weeknight at pm. Channel 5 also have a deal with YouTube, allowing viewers to watch episodes for free on the video sharing site after they have been transmitted. From 4 January , Channel 5 began broadcasting episodes on the same day as Australia. Channel 5's commissioning editor Greg Barnett explained that closing the transmission gap would reduce spoilers and the amount of viewers watching the show illegally online.
From mid, the show also began airing every week-night on Nickelodeon as part of their Nick at Nite programming block, broadcasting the same episode that was earlier seen on Channel 5. It has been reported that negotiations to continue Neighbours on Channel 5 have become "very fraught", and it is possible that Neighbours could be axed in Britain. KCOP planned on cancelling the show by the end of the month due to low ratings, but brought it back due to viewer demand at a am daily time slot from 1 July to 30 August In April , the show began broadcasting nationally on the television channel Oxygen.
A spokeswomen from the channel said "Now our viewers can join in on the good, the bad and the endlessly entertaining lives of our Aussie neighbours. The show was broadcast in the afternoon with two episodes being shown back to back at pm and pm.
After a couple of weeks, the show was moved to a late-night time slot and it eventually left the air. The soap began airing from 14 July, with new episodes airing daily from Monday through to Friday, on Hulu and Hulu Plus services. The episodes were four weeks behind the Australian broadcast. All past and current episodes of " Neighbours " were removed from Hulu on 19 September , stating they had lost the rights.
Despite the restrictive pm time slot, " Neighbours " has also covered many serious problems such as teenage pregnancy, marital breakdown, imprisonment, career problems, financial problems, pregnancy, abortion, eating disorders, alcoholism, adultery, drug use and drug trafficking, robbery, stalking, kidnapping, accidental death, hit-and-runs, murder, shootings, stabbings, and incest.
In the s and s, the show dealt with controversial issues such as homosexuality, gambling, prostitution, surrogacy, and exotic dancing. Health issues were also focused on, including multiple sclerosis, bipolar disorder, epilepsy, amnesia, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, and alzheimer's disease. Luckily, cooler heads prevailed and the siblings stopped themselves before they consummated their relationship — just as Paul walked in on a compromising moment.
The BBC cut the racy material and edited several episodes to cover it all up. We guess it was a bit too much for the show's post-CBBC 5. The storyline finally aired uncut on UK Gold in but this story misstep really was better left forgotten.
Toadie and Sonya's wedding. In the first of what would become a regular occurrence, Channel 5 unveiled plans for the first-ever prime-time special for Neighbours in for Toadie and Sonya's big wedding day. The episode was reworked for its later airing on Channel 5, containing several scenes from forthcoming episodes, a unique pre-titles recap and the most memorable of all, commercial music over several key scenes.
Never did we think we'd hear Rihanna on Neighbours. How could you possibly top that? Josh's grisly demise. However, this special delivered more than just a few editing tweaks, as Neighbours specifically shot a few added moments of gore for the late-night broadcast in the UK, which didn't air in Australia. Don't get us wrong, they hardly filmed the Erinsborough version of Saw but the bonus shots of Josh impaled by Lassiter's debris really drove home the tragedy of his death. It was a world away from Kate Ramsay's remarkably non-existent gunshot wound.
Especially for us. Neighbours recently celebrated the soap wedding of the year — at long last, David and Aaron were married in what was a landmark wedding for Neighbours and Australian TV in general.
Once again, Channel 5 gave UK viewers a slight remix. Do Jason and Kylie exist in the Neighbours universe? Are we actually watching Doctor Who? Who even cares? This allowed fans in the Southern and Northern Hemispheres to follow the joy — and in some storylines anguish — of Erinsborough. The 35 th anniversary of Neighbours starting in Australia was recently celebrated with an intense week of storylines combining three deaths and five weddings.
Shortly after this, Covid forced a break in production, and Channel 5 reduced the number of episodes it showed every week from March 30th.
They increased it back to three a week a few weeks later April 20 th , and then returned it to its usual five a week by the 11 th of May. It now means the show is three weeks behind in the UK — the first time it has been behind in over four years. Neighbours was the first mainstream scripted show to resume production during the pandemic after a four-week hiatus.
