Neighbours was immediately bought by Seven's rival Network Ten. [7] The new network had to build replica sets when it took over production after Seven destroyed the original sets to prevent the rival network obtaining them. [13] [14] [15] Ten began screening the series with episode 171 on 20 January 1986. [15] In 1986, the series was bought by the BBC as part of their new daytime schedule in the United Kingdom. Neighbours made its debut on BBC1 on 27 October 1986 starting with the pilot episode. [15] It soon gained a loyal audience and the show became particularly popular with younger viewers, and before long was watched by up to 16million viewers– more than the entire population of Australia at the time. [7] [15] In 1988, Neighbours became the only television show to have its entire cast flown over to the UK to make an appearance at the Royal Variety Performance in front of the Queen. [16] Neighbours has since become the longest running drama series in Australian television and the seventh longest running serial drama still on the air in the world. [16] [17] In 2005, Neighbours celebrated its 20th anniversary and over twenty former cast members returned for a special episode, which saw the characters sitting down to watch a documentary about Ramsay Street and its residents. [18] At the Logie Award ceremony that year, the show was inducted into the Logie Hall of Fame. [19] Bird, Hannah (13 February 2022).
