These may not be as polished as their US counterparts and actually have more viewers in the UK than in their native country but both shows, Home and Away and Neighbours, are two of the longest running television series in Australia. If you travel in Australia, these are must-see TV shows, even if it is just so you can say you've seen them but they provide the added bonus of being great talking points. Most cast members are on the cover of magazines at some time or other and many try their luck at music too. Here is a quick guide and history to both.
Debuting in 1988, Home And Away, focused on the characters of Poppa and Tom Fletcher who ran the Summer Bay Caravan Park. Now the show has expanded as the Stewart family was introduced. There are a lot of beautiful bronzed people in beachwear with some controversial issues thrown in.
Home and Away airs weekdays for 46 weeks a year and is a massive hit is the UK and Ireland. Some well know US actors have worked on home away in the early years. these actors include, Heath Ledger, Simon Baker, Isla Fisher, Melissa George, Danni Minogue, Guy Pearce and Naomi Watts.
Neighbours first aired in 1985. It follows the lives of six homes all living on the same cul-de-sac, on Ramsay Street, in a middle class suburb of Erinsborough, a fictional town. They have the usual romances, family problems, domestic squabbles and other events affecting the residents. Neighbours airs for 22 minutes a day five days a week. Originally airing on channel 7, it was later picked up by channel 10, who casted a younger group of actors, including Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan who played Charlene and Scott. Their romance and wedding was watched by one of the largest audiences in Australia and in the UK.
Neighbours had a following of about 18 million people per episode, in the 1980's, and today it attracts 3 million viewers an episode. As with Home and Away, many Australian actors started their careers in this fictional town. Among the big names are Russell Crowe, Jason Donovan, Natalie Imbrulia, Guy Pearce and Kylie Minogue.
