Neighbours is the perfect escapism from dull, stressful reality. The plots are interesting and varied, not too protracted, and the acting is of a high quality. All those who look down their noses at soaps take note, this series has been going nearly 30 years.Paul Robinson is the perfect bad boy and delightful to watch; Chris is someone you just want to hug, you're desperate for a; Vanessa and Lucas to get together, and b; Karl and Susan to get BACK together, and you just wish somewhere like Harold's or Charlie's actually existed.All in all, the perfect mix of humour, good meaty plots, and escapism.Long may it reign!

I have been watching Neighbours ever since I was 11 and from the very first episode that I watched I was hooked as I had to know what each and everyone of my favourite characters were up to. I think Neighbours is something that I can't bear to miss and I would never ever stop watching it as I never get bored of it. I would recommend Neighbours to everyone as there is a little something for everyone in Neighbours. It's basically the only soap opera that I actually want to watch as I feel that it is better than the likes of Corrie or EastEnders. What keeps me hooked on Neighbours is the fact that it stays true to the Neighbours theme song "That's when good neighbours become good friends" as even though sometimes they fight the Ramsay Street residents are always friends in the end through the thick and thin.

Well, for a start, I'm a Home And Away/Neighbours freak loll, cant miss an episode, i work 5 days a week starting at 10am and finishing at 7pm which sucks because if i don't get my boyfriend to record both the shows, then i miss em, and I'm NOT HAPPY JAN loll.Anyways what i was going to say is that, some of the characters BIOS, aka their dates they been on the show are wrong. For example: Stingrays date says that his still on the show now in 2008, when its a new season and he died last year in the show.....So can you see what I'm meaning!!!!!!!So i was thinking can we fix this please loll.....

Does anybody know how far behind Australia the UK's showing of neighbours is? If you go to www.neighbours.com, there is a massive difference between the plots and I am curious to find out how far ahead in time the Australians are... (or how far behind we are!)I know what we English have to look forward to, but how long must we wait?!?! The future of Neighbours looks very strange but very cool(!) to me and I want to know how long I'll be waiting to see it! (By the way, I'm not an obsessive Neighbours fan, I just really want to know!) If anybody does know the answer please post a comment, it's free to join!!! Thanks, R M xox
