Neighbours, which helped launch the careers of Kylie Minogue, Natalie Imbruglia, Jason Donovan and Holly Valance, has been running in the UK since October 1986. It was first broadcast on BBC1 and is now on Channel 5.
At its peak in the late 1980s it had a UK audience of 18million, more than the entire population of Australia at the time.

Others who have made cameo appearances include Neil Morrissey, Michael Parkinson and Chris Lowe of the Pet Shop Boys.
In March, Lily was in Australia for a promotional tour when she confessed her love for fellow Australian soap Home and Away, which has been running since 1987.
She was a guest on the Nova 969 breakfast show which is hosted by ex-Home and Away actress Kate Ritchie – who played Sally in the series.
Following an on-air chat, Lily shyly requested a picture of herself with Ritchie on her own camera.
Ritchie happily obliged, and flattered the singer by telling her she had two copies of her album It’s Not Me, It’s You – one for her house and one for her car.
- The episode of Neighbours starring Lily Allen will be screen on Five on November 10
