As you may well know, Neighbours comes back next month. After one of the weirdest series finales in living memory – largely down to Kylie Minogue’s reluctance to say any actual words – the corpse of Neighbours has been surgically reanimated by Amazon Freevee. New episodes will begin airing daily from 18 September.

Not only that but, for one weekend next month, it’s coming to Shoreditch in London. Between 15 and 17 September, Protein Studios is hosting the Neighbours Experience, at which visitors can look around Susan Kennedy’s living room, have a drink in Harold’s cafe and stare longingly at Charlene Mitchell’s wedding gown.
