that was borderline enjoyable, kind of a pleasure/pain thing
no, actually the WORST thing that has ever happened to me was when i was asleep, and you and all of your "friends" jizzed in my face and took a photo, and then showed it to my mum, and then gangbanged my mum
that was BAD

If you read the title of the thread or the article on the BBC you'd see that Channel 5 has won the bidding.
I'm kinda morning right now. Channel 5 has ruined Home & Away for me and I can only imagine Neighbours going the same way. It just wont be right having an ad break during it.

I can't believe anyone is bothered.

Seriously?
Never watched it but it's interesting that C5 have both Neighbours and Home And Away. I fully anticipate them to make use of this fact, maybe by having an Aussie Hour or something.

I am a bit upset, as Neighbours was nice to watch occasionally (I don't have five) - but I support the BBC's decision because they have to spend the money wisely.

f***ing ungratful Aussies. If it wasn't for the BBC, Neighbours would of died 20 years ago

No great surprise seeing as they effectively have the same owners.
RTL are the majority shareholders in Channel Five and own the production company that makes it.
Don't blame the Aussies, if you want someone to blame, blame the Germans.

Best news I have heard in ages. Hopefully they will screen if after Home & Away.

Hollyoaks...Shmollyoaks. After watching Neighbours for almost 20 years uniterrupted, 9-5 work has seen my regular viewing of the show obliterated. You can always watch Hollyoaks catchup or the omnibus!?
