Neighbours on Five

I know it’s only Neighbours, it’s not exactly high drama, but I am really impressed with the way Five have handled it. When the BBC decided not to renew the contract it was a bit sad as Neighbours feels like it’s been around forever (even though I clearly remember when it first started and the way everyone watched it). Not only did Five snap it up, but they’re airing it at the times the BBC used to air it (back to 13:45 and 17:30, rather than sometime after 14:00 when we feel like it) and they’re continuing from the correct episode on Monday.

This shouldn’t be impressive. This should be how it always happens. TV execs take note of this.

Too many programmes are being bought up and not showed, showed in the wrong order, put on obscure satellite channels, etc.
