About this deal
All episodes are available for a month after their original air date on Channel 5’s catch-up service, My5. To watch the show on TV you can tune in to Channel 10 at 4:30 pm each day, or alternatively Channel 10 Peach two hours later at 6:30 pm, with episodes airing every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from Monday, September 18. Over 70,000 people signed a petition to save Neighbours earlier this year, but another broadcaster didn’t step in to stop the show from being axed on Channel 5. Despite the loyal fanbase in the UK of the long-running series, it was nearly impossible to stream classic Neighbours episodes online.

That Mike spends much of the first episode on FaceTime suggests Pearce is not planning to leave Hollywood for soap life. And yet it would take a harsher cynic than I not to feel glad to see the residents of Ramsay Street again.
Freevee is, as the name suggests, free — instead of paying to sign up, you instead have your streaming interrupted by the occasional advert.When every character has been given the perfect goodbye, the question becomes, what do producers do now?
