Just checked and it is 7 weeks of the 2007 season left when Five take over airing the show.

Im glad Neighbours are covering a storyline about eating disorders in men. Im not sure if a soap has ever covered this before

However as Pepper is the only one who knows about it and she leaves next week I wonder what will happen?

Hopefully it'll end better than it starts. Although Neighbours should be commended for taking a different slant on the issue it just seems very amature (with Pepper's story that was supposed to give Ringo hope, but it ended with her friend dieing with the problem), especially compared to the recent eating disorder storyline in Hollyoaks which IMHO is the best it has been covered in a soap yet

RTÉ are making milage of the fact that most Irish viewers will no longer be able see Neighbours anywhere else (well, unless UKTV show reruns again...). Most people here don't get Five.

They're airing promos for a new lunchtime re-run on RTÉ One and triumphing the fact that "RTÉ is now the exclusive Irish home of Neighbours".

I have to say five are pulling out all the stops to promote Neighbours. Today i was in Trafalgar Square, to see a brass band playing the original neighbours theme, joined by none other than Ian Smith, aka Harold Bishop. It was filmed and you could tell he was in character, so my guess it will either be used as a trailer or an ident, just before Neighbours premiers on five next week. It was very good, and Ian posed for lots of pictures.

I get BBC 1,2,3,4 as normal channels here in NL but I don't complain about not getting five - as Neighbours is on een (belgian channel!!!) and more or less up to date!!

Thing is I don't think maybe people would want the NED's here in the UK, since its not an English language channel. while RTE is.

I seem to remember repeats of A Country Practice followed by Hart to Hart was on every morning when I visited Dublin back in 2000.
