I've lost track of how neighbours do their commercial breaks in Australia now. I know the format changed a couple of years ago. As far as I'm aware it is now two breaks in the middle of Neighbours itself, and then the third break has been inserted following the closing credits, whereas it used to be inserted just prior to the closing credits with a seamless lead into the next programme?

If that's the case then I reckon they have just put the Five break in where TEN put their first one, because there is often a fade to black about 2/3 of the way through our episodes where a second TEN commercial break would have been.

No, there's 3 breaks during Neighbours in Australia, the final break is before the final scene.

Five are getting copies with the break stings in unlike the BBC. So it means they have overlay the underscore music into the next scene, to cover up the break.

Right i've just watched tomorrows episode via the preview disc and the breaks are at...

Part 1(including recap and opening titles)
8mins 48secs (take 20secs off for VT clock)

Part 2
begins to play at : 9mins 21secs
goes to break at 14mins 25secs

Part 3
begins to plat at : 15mins 01secs
goes to break at : 22mins 03secs

Part 4
begins to play at : 22mins 42secs
finish at : 23mins 31sec (then credits begin for what seems like ever)

Now obviously take away the gaps from goes to break and begins next part, and that will you give exact running time.
