Neighbours

Ok i was wrong then, the short credits with the TEN end cap, oh springs to mind

Click here to see the first ever transmission of Neighbours on five! (Ident included)

It does look very odd to see the familiar faces behind a five dog, but I do have to say that with the new titles, harsher lighting, this "filmic effect" coupled with the fact i've not seen it for years (I have a job now), it does just look like the old cast members have left what I remember as Neighbours, and are on this funky equivalent for old Australian actors... It's very 'Home and Away' now isn't it?

Nice of the announcer to mention something (and give us some useless but interesting stats too!)

Hmmmm... 'Neighbours' ident into Home & Away (although that was an excuse to mention Neighbours)

Neighbours first day on Five:

I'm probably in the minority but I thought the filmic look didn't look too bad compared to other shows like Casualty and Home and Away, obviously most people aren't going to like it but to me it didn't distract from what was going on on screen.

BTW anyone notice the Ten logo at the end of Neighbours?

I didn't even notice a filmic effect. I'm assuming we'll have the longer version of the credits on a friday like they do in Australia now?

Either that or on the omnibus.

I did think it looked different, and as usual, the filmic effect wasn't for the better either.


Have never liked the Ten credit style with this look - always thought the BBC version was better, and especially so if Five are going to squeeze them all the time.

anyone got the end credits - i didnt see - im at work!

Just seen this - BBC.co.uk/Neighbours gives you some info that Neighbours has gone and to look for Out of the Blue- Coming in April!

Five Closing Credits

I did wonder if the film effect was coming in - all clips shown in the documentary yesterday afternoon had the effect on it. I'm not sure I really see a need for it but I've got quite used to it now thanks to Home & Away so it doesn't bother me too much.

It raises an interesting question though - I've always assumed that Home & Away went "filmic" because that's how they started to make it, although now I'm wondering if it's made in the full frame rate but Five apply the effect.
