Today marks the tenth birthday of Neighbours: The Perfect Blend being launched onto an unsuspecting internet. During the last decade, we've provided hundreds of interviews, character biographies and episode summaries, and all manner of exclusive spoilers and news. We've watched 2408 episodes together, seen 91 different regular characters come and go, and even witnessed Neighbours change channels in both Australia and the UK. Things may have slowed down a bit in recent years, but we're still around and we will continue to maintain the site and keep it up-to-date whenever we can.

We'd like to thank everyone who's contributed to the site, in any way, over these last ten years, not to mention everyone who's read the site and got in touch. Here's to the next ten years!

Neighbours' famous theme tune is set to get a revamp later this year, and fans are being offered the chance to provide the vocals. The theme was last changed back in 2007, when Sandra De Jong provided the voice and, six years later, viewers can now add their vocals to the song, with one lucky viewer winning the chance to hear their version used permanently.

Long time Ramsay Street resident, Ryan Moloney (Toadfish Rebecchi) has swapped the newly renovated Number 30 for the UK Celebrity Big Brother house. Ryan, who has been a regular on Neighbours since 1995, has found himself in the less than comfortable surroundings of the Big Brother House's basement.

Celebrity Big Brother airs nightly on Channel 5.

After a lengthy wait, the UK is finally set to get two new Neighbours DVD boxsets. Both the sets have previously been released in Neighbours homeland of Australia and, curiously, gained their first release in Germany where Neighbours last new episodes were shown in 1993.

Former Neighbours star, Margot Robbie (Donna Brown) returns to UK screens in US series Pan Am on Wednesday 16 November 2011 at 9pm on BBC Two. The second episode airs immediately afterwards at 9.45pm. The episodes will then be repeated on Thursday 17 November at 11.50pm and Friday 18 November at 12.35am.

Today marks 25 years since Neighbours debuted in the UK. At 1:25pm on Monday 27 October 1986, the residents of Ramsay Street burst onto UK screens, originally airing on BBC One before moving to Channel 5 on 22 February 2008.

Why not take the opportunity to relive the first episode in our Magic Moments section.

Neighbours' Executive Producer, Susan Bower, is to leave the show in December after four years to move to a new international role within production company, FremantleMedia Australia according to reports from Herald Sun and TV Tonight.

During her time with the show, Bower has overseen the introduction of popular characters such as Callum Jones, Donna Freedman and Sonya Mitchell, the departures of reality-stars turned actors such as Dan O'Connor and Dean Geyer, plus an overhaul of Neighbours' production standards.

Whilst viewer opinion of Bower's time in charge has often been divided, with many fans unhappy with the high cast turnover, direction of storylines and the diversity of the cast, the controversial move of channel from Ten to Eleven in Australia has proved successful, with Neighbours consistently rating between 300,000 and 400,000 viewers each night, being one of the highest rating shows on a digital channel.

She will be replaced by Richard Jasek, who previously produced and directed Australian show City Homicide which concluded in March 2011, as well as having directed shows such as McLeods Daughters, Blue Heelers and The Secret Life Of Us

In a further change, Alan Hardy is to join the show in the role of Producer. Hardy's career spans almost 40 years of Australiasian television, having worked as an actor plus scripting and producing shows such as The Sullivans, The Henderson Kids, Home and Away, Shortland Street and City Homicide.

No comment has yet been made in regards to current Producer, Neal Kingston.

UPDATE: Neal Kingston departed the series in September and is currently working on a project in Sydney for FremantleMedia Australia.

Craig McLachlan (Henry Ramsay) returned to the Neighbours set on Monday after 19 years away. Sadly although his visit to Harold's does involve Henry, Craig was not reprising his popular role, instead filming an interview for an upcoming Australian television programme about iconic eighties moments.

Scottish band, Glasvegas took time out of their recent tour of Australia to stop by to Harold's Store for a coffee. The band grew up watching Neighbours and were left starstruck as they met the show's longest-serving cast member, Tom Oliver (Lou Carpenter).

Karl Kennedy isn't the only one looking a little blue at the moment, his off-screen counterpart is too. Alan Fletcher who plays the troubled doctor has donned blue facepaint in support of this year's Blue September campaign to raise awareness of men's health.

Alan will be heading to the UK this weekend to help promote the virtues of regular medical checks (something Karl would highly approve of), taking part in a media and appearance tour over seven days including breakfast with London's Mayor Boris Johnson plus a visit to Everton football club.
