CHANNEL 5 ANNOUNCE NEIGHBOURS FESTIVE BREAK

Neighbours will be taking a Christmas break in the UK from 23rd December until 4th January.

In a statement, Neighbours said: "Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and uncertainties surrounding production, Channel 5 took a precautionary measure to reduce the number of Neighbours episodes earlier this year, ensuring that dedicated viewers could enjoy the soap for as long as possible...

"Currently, Channel 5's full schedule means it is unlikely that we will be able to catch up with the transmission of episodes in Australia in the near future...

"Neighbours will return to UK screens on the 4th January 2021, and we hope that viewers will continue to enjoy watching Neighbours with the profound affection that we know many of them hold for the soap."
