It is - or was. It's been axed in a few, including by BBC America and either in Australia or New Zealand. I think both have replaced it with Hollyoaks.
Wrong!

Well Doctor Who is currently shown on ABC <Australian Broadcasting Corporation/kinda like Aussie BBC> Torchwood will be shown on Ten but ABC shows a lot of British shows, which some people complain about the lack of Australian content on it (due to funding issues).

From Digital Spy;
BBC chiefs have pulled out of negotiations for Australian soap Neighbours, according to a report in The Mirror today.
The show will now leave BBC screens next year after distributor Fremantle refused to accept the corporation's offer of £70,000 per episode, instead demanding that executives match ITV's bid of £104,000.
It is now believed that the bidding war for the soap will continue between ITV and Five. ITV are keen to secure a daytime hit after struggling since Paul O'Grady defected to Channel 4 in 2006, while Five are hoping to create an Aussie soap hour by running Neighbours and Home and Away back-to-back.
A BBC insider told the newspaper: "We made a very generous offer and we were very disappointed when they went off in search of more cash. It shows how greedy they are. There is no hope of us keeping the programme in the face of such fierce competition from the commercial channels.
"We can't pay over the odds for it because it is licence fee money - but what we did offer was very reasonable given the current market rates. It is very sad."

Speaking to the BBC earlier and they have said that they are still in talks in with Fremantle.
A long time talking though, i hope the right result comes out of it all.

Jeezzz! Talk about hanging on by a thread. It would be very very sad if the BBC lost it.

For goodness sake. ITV won't kill Neighbours, they aren't that stupid. If they are paying an ungodly amount per episode they will give it a fixed slot in which it will perform as well as it did on BBC1.
It's not the end of the world and who gives a damn about adverts?
