Oh no, I'm equally to blame! We just got into a series of lectures didn't we. 'Lectures on British History by KitLily and cyberdad'

I literally just saw this and was coming here to comment, DuckHairback!
It has made my day! My week! I've missed the half hour of silliness each day where I can tune out the world and focus on characters losing their memories and finding long lost twins!

It's plunged my partner into a moral dilemma. She hates Amazon with a passion but loves Neighbours so now has to make her peace with it.
I'm more excited about watching old episodes. We've been moaning about technology in other threads but if it essentially allows me to live perpetually in the 1990s then bring it on

Yes I'm not fond of Amazon but the world is so frightening now I like my half hour of escapism.
I agree- the late 20th century/early 21st century was a much nicer time to live in.

Don't see much of KitLily these days but I noticed the legacy episodes of Neighbours are up on FreeVee.
Or at least some of them. From what I see, all of 2012's episodes are there, plus 500 or so curated classics dating right back to the 80s.
I hope that's not it. The whole enjoyment of a soap is that you tune in regularly and watch the storylines develop over time. Dipping in and out doesn't really work for me, just a short-lived nostalgia trip.
That said, some of the SD quality of the oldest ones is hard to watch on a modern TV. Perhaps that's why they started with 2012 - was that when it went HD?

Hi DuckHairBack
I find it pretty hard to see when there are new comments on a thread, that thing 'view your posts' is confusing
There have been a few announcements about the returning cast for Neighbours, very exciting!
I think 2012 could well be when it went HD? Can't remember.

Hi - it's okay, this is a pretty niche thread (Hi, Where_am_I btw - nice to have another Neighbours fan, look back at the early pages for a photo of me when I visted Pin Oak Drive, Melbourne (Ramsay Street)). I don't expect anyone to monitor it!
Who are these cast announcements? I'm intrigued.
I watched a classic Philip Martin/Billy & Anne era episode last night at random. It's so funny how people that you thought were very grown up when you watched it originally now look like children.

Right, so apparently we've got Leo, Terese, Jane, Mackenzie as permanent returnees. And Harold, Chloe and Lucy making guest appearances. Apparently Elly is in talks to return, although if she is in love with Chloe, I'm not sure how that'll work if Chloe isn't there permanently. (as well as Susan, Karl, Paul, Toadie but you probably knew those)
No news on what they are going to do with Mike! lol.
Most of those are my favourites and I adore Leo so I'm very glad he's back!

I used to love the storylines about these guys...they always lightened things up!
@DuckHairback: thank you for sharing the photo - I'm jealous and fascinated because I don't know of many die hard neighbours fans!
