Neighbours 'facing the axe' after 37 years on our TV screens

Neighbours is reportedly facing the axe after nearly 40 years on TV.

The Australian soap opera, which was first aired in March 1985, is reportedly set to be cancelled because it is bringing in less advertising money than it costs to make it, according to a report.

It is reported that Channel 5, which partly funds the long-running show's production, has yet to agree a deal with production company Fremantle to continue creating the show. If no deal is agreed it is believed the show's final episodes could air in August this year - just three years short of its 40th anniversary.
