This was a good humoured look at the popularity of Australian soap operas first broadcast on ITV on New Year's Day then repeated on Good Friday which was when I saw it.
The most surprising aspect of the programme was that it was presented by Barry Norman. You couldn't really picture Bazza setting the VCR for Neighbours . Nevertheless he took you through the history in his usual droll fashion without any heavy-handed irony. There were copious contributions from Kylie, Jason and the rest.
It did focus on the two really popular ones Neighbours and Home and Away . There was the briefest acknowledgement of Prisoner Cell Block H and no mention at all of Families.
