Offside Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 It’s sad that it’s ending. I used to love it as a kid, lots of memorable characters (but probably awful if I watched it back). I used to like Sons and Daughters as well but never got into Home And Away. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 Does anyone remember a pre-season match against the Gas at Twerton Park in ?1990 when Devon White had just been cautioned by police after an altercation with a neighbour outside his house, and the City end all sang the theme tune from Neighbours?… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Karl, Susan, Paul & Toad. Been a while since I watched it though. Brings back some childhood memories. Every week day, twice a day, unbelievable! Might even watch the last episode.

Bristol Rob Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 And, for those of you of a certain age who may have been off school with an illness that convinced a parent that a day on the sofa was the best plan... With Neighbours, Home and Away, The Sullivans and Sons and Daughters, Australian television executives probably did more to keep a generation of kids accepting of going to school than any teachers did. They did produce some shite telly. Was almost a welcome relief when the test card came on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Just read that 20M watched the wedding in 1987! Ok there wasn't as many channels to watch back in the day but that's still insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remember the theme tune as my nan used to watch it. No idea how long the UK had it after it was shown in Australia, but this would have been late 80's / early 90's. Whether they were re-runs or when we just had them here. Went years and years without hearing the theme until Peter Kay's Max and Paddy Road to nowhere show when they had a TV theme round on CD driving around. They were all singing the tune and Max's mate yells out the answer trying to get the point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Londoner Posted July 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 They’ve tried to please everyone which is nice but to do so it was always going to be cheesy Although Kylie not talking was frankly bizarre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Batman Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Natalie imbrulglia too. That was the cherry on top. Notice Jason and Kylie were never in shot with guy Pearce. They were just out of shot when they did wider views. Guessing schedules meant they couldn't do the same day. Not gonna lie, just fast forwarded through most of it.

Around my place neighbours bring beer around at about 10.00am on a Saturday morning and we then fire up the barbie. The TV show was actually filmed in a suburb about 20 minutes east of Melbourne and is always a major attraction to pomms visiting OZ.

I did the tour when i visited Melbourne years ago and after about 5 minutes suddenly realised what the hell am i doing I’m taking photos of houses The whole sadness thing is interesting though, despite people not having watched it for 10 years plus it’s taking people back to that point in their life and they’re saying goodbye to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when I came to OZ in 1989 and internet is not what it is now and all my mates in the UK wanted updates on neighbours. The only thing I do not like about these soap programmes is that neighbours like others gave everyone else in other countries a false interpretation of what it was like living in OZ. Trust me it is not all what you see on TV and the years especially in the early 90s were extremely tough for me and my wife with a young son. It took me almost fifteen years to have enough money to get back to the UK for a visit. Now though with me turning sixty things are now getting easier in OZ. I still miss seeing my team at Ashton Gate and when I do go back I make sure I get a home game in. Let us hope this season will be a good one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
