I liked the pan across from one part of the set to the other in Harold's house during the 'staged' burglary. They do it quite often in Number 30.

I remember last year, someone (probably Sky) made a home video at the Bishops and in one part you could clearly see the studio lighting!

Yesterdays episode was a bit stupid - well sillier than normal - what with Lou and that terrible foreign woman trying to fight off a burglar.

I remember when Susan was talking to someone once at her house at the keetle and you could see the refelection of the black ceiling and lighting boxes!

Just watching the closing credits of Neighbours here in NZ and theyve put a horrible black glow on the names etc.


Are these the new closing credits?

...so if there are new closing credits in Australia... there must be new ones then... ?

Network Ten broadcasts in Australia got a revised ending credits sequence a couple of weeks ago which utilised a slightly longer variation of the theme tune and a new typeface for the credits themselves. This typeface also appears on the opening production credits which are overlaid on the opening episode scenes.

It would appear that New Zealand broadcasts are also using the new typeface but have retained the illustration of Ramsay St in the background. I've not seen the NZ credits yet, but a previous poster said the theme was different, so it's likely they're using either the BBC version or the slightly longer Australian version.

It was nice to see the original actress, Fiona Corke, come back to reprise the role of Paul Robinson's 2nd wife - Gail. At least Reg Grundy/TEN didn't go for the easy route of hiring a different actress to play her - Full Marks 10/10

The Grundy name is to be dropped in 2007, As of 1st January 2007, they'll be known as FremantleMedia Australia Pty Limited.

More Info Here

Bit strange as I have always known Neighbours as a Grundy Production so will be a bit odd when it changes.

They'd be mad to ditch the Grundy branding - it still has quite a global presence, especially with Neighbours being shown in every country of consequence. Why not do the obvious "Grundy Crackerjack Productions" if they're worried about having two companies managed by FM in the one country?

Where does it say that it will be a "Pty" AND a "Limited" then?

I think it'll be the first ever company to be BOTH, if your information is true.

Surely, if it's registered in Australia, then it'll be a "Pty", but if it's registered over here, it'll be a "Limited"?

A guy on Neighbours Fan's told me it would be called that, he has contacts with Grundy. I think that is what he means in the UK it will be LTD.
