Channel 5 owner recently shared that the viewing figures on the finale night were their highest since its first episode went live in 2008. And, said that it is "the end of an era".
Ben Frow, who controls Channel 5, told the Guardian, "I suspect there wasn’t a dry eye from the viewers as Neighbours bowed out on a high last night. We wanted to give it a fitting, respectful ending and I hope our night devoted to Neighbours achieved that."
"Last night truly is the end of an era. The response from viewers overnight has been very moving, even if they wished the ending didn’t have to come."
The show was previously produced by Grundy Television. And, it was created by Reg Watson.
