Neighbours

[quizzywig]

So Ch 5 are to get Neighbours. I for one will be glad to set it off BBC ( and licence fees!) I've watched it pretty much since it began but this last year or so the storylines have got worse. Each character seems to be plotting something or other - in some cases murder! This isn't really good tv for 5.30pm. And what is the supposed attraction to Paul Robinson? Presumably Stefan Dennis only came back on Neighbours so his character could have affairs with a few younger women (except Lynne). And that Pepper person, she's supposed to be a PE teacher (she must be, I noticed her once in sporty attire with a whistle!) but in one scene in the classroom her skirt was up to her bottom and her top barely covered her! It's become a really badly written and in some cases badly acted show.
What to other ABers think?

I quite like Neighbours,it has a sense of humour about itself.A while ago it had a p'ing contest between Paul and Karl with Paul winning which was reprosed with Paul and Frasier recently with Paul losing.And the bit where Paul and pepper thre their clothes on the sofa followed by his leg.I always feel that Stefan Dennis plays the whole thing with a look as if to say "isn't this ridiculous".

We still can't get channel 5 in our area, neither can my parents, which makes me wonder how many viewers it will lose now that it is being shown by a channel without full UK coverage!

I love Neighbours and need it to watch while eating my lunch - nothing too nasty to upset my tum ....

On my TV Channel 5 freezes during high pressure, but will watch somehow.

I think Neighbours is like any other soap, we slag them off but we still watch them.I have watched it since the begining and I probably just watch it out of habit but I can get C5 on my Freeview box so I will probably keep on watching.
The attraction of Paul Robinson? Power and money.
My favourites are Karl and Susan and Harold and Lou.
