30 years on, everybody still needs good ‘Neighbours’

It started with a nightmare, but 30 years on, the success of hit TV soap Neighbours has been a dream for its fans and the legion of stars who got their big break on Ramsay St.

Australians viewers got their first glimpse of the show in 1985 — it opened with one of its characters Danny Ramsay awakening from a bad dream.

Shortly later it hit Irish and British TV screens, pulling in millions of viewers and spawning a new generation of heartthrobs.
