After shock speculation on Saturday night that its days were numbered, Channel 5 has officially confirmed that Neighbours will be scrapped in the UK, with the news seeing petitions launched to try and save the long-running show.
The Australian soap launched back in 1985 and quickly became a huge hit with British audiences, pulling in big audiences on BBC1 for both its early afternoon episode and teatime repeat as viewers tuned in to see the latest goings on from families like the Ramseys and Robinsons.
Iconic Neighbours moments over the years include Scott and Charlene’s wedding, when Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue’s characters tied the knot; Harold going missing only return again years later thinking he was a different person and the highly bizarre Bouncer’s dream episode.
