That is a valid argument, but you would hope they might be able to put that aside for one moment - after all, Neighbours has been a staple on BBC1 for the past 21 years, and over the years it has been good for the channel. It's just a bit of a shame they didn't even say goodbye. I hope they have enough extra staff in at the BBC call centre on Monday to cope with the deluge of calls from confused viewers!
It is so sad that Neighbours has now departed the BBC, but I really can not believe that BBC One England ended Neighbours off like this -

As mentioned above, the show has been airing on BBC One for the past two decades, and I am quite frankly, disgusted in BBC One England for not saying goodbye - at least BBC One Northern Ireland said goodbye - the link is here -

Here's to Neighbours being shown on Five - just over an hour to go until launch time!
I wish Neighbours all the best of luck on Five.
Neighbours will be sadly missed on the BBC - afternoons and early evenings on the BBC will never be the same again.
You cant really blame them though - they have lost the show after over 20 years of loyalty. They probabaly dont want to draw attention to the fact it will be on Five from today.

Why would the BBC send it off with a soft snuggly feeling when they spent 20+ years making the show what it is and then being dropped like a stone all in the name of short term cash.
