I hate Neighbours, I think it's one of the worst soaps ever. It is poorly acted, with rubbish sets and blander than bland characters. It says a lot for a programme when one of the most fondly regarded characters is a dog, in this instance the lovely Bouncer. It used to be enjoyable in a trashy way, but now it is frankly dire. The problem with soaps is that there are only so many times you can run the same storylines without becoming boring, and Neighbours is a prime example. It just rehashes the same limp and improbable plots over and over. Neighbours is cheap rubbish, and needs to be put to rest. It is only memorable for introducing Australian talents who have gone on to better things.

I didn't think much of this programme. The interviews and behind the scenes footage were interesting, but the voiceover overdid the cheese factor by about 100. The script wasn't much cop either.

The programme really didn't do the film justice. The hammy voiceover detracted from an otherwise competent promotional tool.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video special, charting Kylie's career from I Should Be So Lucky to Can't Get You Out Of My Head. It features videos from her beginnings with the Stock, Aitken & Waterman hit factory through to her triumphant comeback with Spinning Around.

All in all, a great programme for Kylie fans and nostalgists alike.
