Neighbours production has breaks in December-January and 2 weeks mid year. On air it runs late Jan – early Dec without a break.

well first off I think it would be wrong for Neighbours to have to deal with the minorities that UK TV tends to focus on, however it should represent some of the Aussie minorities.

An "islander" family could be a good thing, a mum & dad looking to leave that part of there life behind, and a teen who wants to explore it.

actually I think the UK thing is part of the problem with Neighbours, it ends up having to play this kind of thing safe, and it doesn't represent Australian culture as much as I would like it to, which might also explain its Aussie ratings issues.

Is neighbours having a summer break?

Seriously people have too much time on their hands, if you don’t like it watch something else, like I do!

Moving Wallpaper and Echo beach are much better!

I think some of the backgrounds are being shown but not all. The Aboriginal community should be shown more on Neighbours I reckon. But serouisly, the last time the show had an Asian character was in 2007 with Katya. That was only one year ago. In the past, there’s been Lori. They don’t look very deep into these issues.

Greek and Belarussian, Oh please they are white Europeans!

When was the last time you saw an Asian, Indian, Aborginal actor in these shows?

You just have to look at the nightly news and see how bereft we are of ethnic presenters!
