Neighbours: From the Beginning Volume 1 [DVD]

Product Information

Neighbours has been very successful in the United Kingdom, and has proved to be more popular there than in Australia. [124] [125] It was broadcast on BBC One for over 21 years from October 1986 until February 2008. The series started airing on 27 October 1986, as part of BBC One's revamped daytime schedules. [126] Neighbours went out with a lunchtime broadcast and then a morning broadcast repeat the following day. [127] Michael Grade, the channel's then controller, was advised by his daughter to move the morning broadcast repeat to a late afternoon slot, as she and her friends kept missing it due to their being at school, [127] which took place from 4 January 1988. The show then started attracting larger audiences, peaking at over 21 million viewers on 26 January 1990, an aggregated figure that combined the lunchtime debut and the teatime repeat. [128] Towards the late 2000s, Neighbours was normally attracting an average of 3million viewers for its lunchtime showing and 2.6million viewers for its early-evening repeat. [129] It was frequently the highest-rating daytime program in the UK, outside of news bulletins. [20] a b c Meade, Amanda (14 March 2011). "Ten seeks an iPhone audience for Neighbours".
