Moving trucks are hanging sex videorolling into Ramsay Street as long-running Australian soap Neighbourswill end after 37 years.

If you grew up in Australia (like me) or the UK, chances are you might have spent weeknights after school poking into the highly dramatic lives of the residents of the fictional Melbourne suburb of Erinsborough — and one particular suburban cul de sac.

On March 3, Fremantle Media announced Neighbours— Australia's longest-running drama series with a whopping 9,000 episodes since first airing in 1985 — would cease production in June 2022, citing funding problems following Channel 5's departure as its UK broadcaster (Channel 10 airs it in Australia).

To our amazing, loyal fans, we know this is a huge disappointment, as it is to all of us on the team. We thank you for all your messages and support and promise to end the show on an incredible high. From here on, we are celebrating Neighbours. #celebratingneighbours

If you're a Neighboursenthusiast, the whole thing has inevitably awakened the theme in your brain. You know it, the one jauntily insisting that "everybody needs good neighbours," and originally sung by Barry Crocker. It's an instant earworm — even Lily Allen sampled it.

I've been admittedly watching other things over the past few years, but there was a time in my life where I didn't miss an episode of Neighbours. It was our glorious daily ritual, hitting the couch after school with my sister, my nanna and poppa, and very reluctantly, my mum, and obsessing over the latest trials and tribulations swirling around Lou's Place — the show's pub, now called The Waterhole.

Were you there for the doomed wedding of Toadie and Dee? When Lou Carpenter and Harold Bishop waged war for Madge's affections then became besties? When Harold was swept out to sea — then returned? When Susan Carpenter slipped on cereal milk and landed with amnesia? When the show gave labrador Bouncer a dream sequencein which he married his border collie neighbour?

The show's ending will inevitably bring up a bunch of these truly formative memories, and spark what's become a well-worn tradition for know-it-alls at the pub like myself: listing Neighboursstars who've gone on to become mega-celebrities. Margot Robbie, Guy Pearce, Russell Crowe, Liam Hemsworth, and so many more strolled through the streets of Erinsborough in their time, checking in at Lassiter's and causing chaos for a while.

I'm so sorry to hear Neighbours will end. Aside from being the incredible launch pad it's been no one can deny the effect it's had throughout millions of homes around the world. It's bonded all of us in immeasurable ways. A true honour to have been a part of it. Great memories Xx

Kylie Minogue famously got her start on the soap as Charlene Robinson, whose relationship with Jason Donovan's Scott Robinson persistently made the front page of Australian magazines during the late '80s — their onscreen wedding was watched by almost 20 million people, live, and inspired a Footscray band of the same name.

I’ll be forever grateful for the experience & the friends I made on @neighbours. We had no idea how big the show would become and how passionately viewers would take it to heart. Pure love! 💞🏡 I can still hear Madge calling … CHARLENE!!!!

Harold Bishop came back from the dead and him and Lou Carpenter were in love with the same woman, but then they became best friends. Can't cancel a show like that, even if I haven't watched it in 15 years pic.twitter.com/DLQof7iWJ6
