Neighbours is a long-running Australian soap opera, which began on-air in March 1985. Through its entire run it has screened as five 22-minute episodes a week, shown each weeknight in an early evening time slot.
The series originally aired on the Seven Network in Australia in 1985. The Melbourne-produced program underperformed in the crucial Sydney market leading to Seven cancelling the series at the end of 1985. Neighbours was immediately picked up by the rival Network Ten. They began screening the series on that channel in early 1986. After low ratings, a concerted publicity drive and the addition of new, younger characters, gradually transformed the show into a high rating show. Australian ratings had cooled considerably by the early 1990s, but the serial continues in Australia with adequate rating figures, frequently attracting almost a million viewers per episode Mercado, Andrew. Super Aussie Soaps, Pluto Press Australia, 2004. ISBN 1864031913 p 231. The series is more popular in the UK, where it screens on BBC One, than it is in Australia .
The show was created by Reg Watson and is produced by the Reg Grundy Organisation.
