Nauseatingly so. They all said they loved one another, and Liljana said the immortal line, "Ta ta, Tata."

Stunning.

One thing to note that tomorrows (Wed) episode has one off style of music for the plane scenes in which it goes all classical which is sommat not normally heard on Neighbours.

So today is the big day then.

Why have the BBC not promoted this episode a bit more then?

Wow, that was one hell of an episode. Some of the scenes were so moving. Especially when Susan was fighting for her life after Izzy had abandoned her to rescue Elle - when Izzy turned around again, Susan was gone.

Sadly the words Neighbours and promotion don't mix with the BBC. There was no up forthcoming promotion from the BBC of the major 20th anniversary episodes only until the day itself when BBC Breakfast was on set.

They promoted Toadie and Dee's wedding though.

I guess that the BBC find promoting the programme don't tend to boost its ratings that much, and consequently see the promotion as a waste of money.

However it is also worth pointing out that the 20th Aniversary episode had no promotion on BBC, except on Breakfast yet brought in audiences of almost 7 million.

How far back was Toadie and Dee's wedding though? A good few years. As for the 20th anniversary. A lot of the extra ratings were probably down to the extra wordage in the Press who really did promote it.

Agreed! Everyone saying goodbye to each other on the plane was incredibly emotional, I cant wait for tomorrows episode.

It was never technically the long theme. Just long to us here in the UK as the BBC clip the end credits.


It's quite significantly longer in that video clip you linked to, why do the BBC cut it down? Apart from the "Thanks to" and the main sponsor slide at the end, I can't see that there is anything that they would want to cut - presumably it's just done for timing?


The Beeb have quite strict rules for the length of credits. It used to be a second for every minute of the show - so a 20 minute Neighbours would get a max of 20" for credits. However this may have been reduced further - and I think BBC Three has different rules and allow even less time for credits.
