Love it or loathe it, the Australian soap opera, Neighbours, has been a staple on UK television for nearly four decades.
A whole generation of youngsters in the 1980s, '90 and beyond grew up watching the ups and downs of the folk who inhabited the fictional Melbourne suburb of Erinsborough.
But the end for the show is nigh after a spokesman announced last week: "We are so sorry to say that after nearly 37 years and almost 9,000 episodes broadcast, we have to confirm that Neighbours will cease production in June.
