Apparently Channel 5 in the UK are showing a one hour prime time special on Monday 12 February. Then Australia will get this episode plus the next episode, as the 90 minute special on Tuesday.
So that means the UK will be seeing first run Neighbours before Australia.

So ridiculous. How is this allowed? Why don’t Eleven just air the special on the Monday then?

They should but I wonder if this being forced by Channel 5 to avoid spoilers leaking and people watching illegal downloads so it boosts the ratings of their prime time special.

SBS has done a profile on Sharon Johal and a story on diversity on Neighbours and Australian TV.
About bloody time.

The one hour special screened in prime time in the UK, a few hours ago and there was a lot of online buzz. We play catch up tonight with the one hour special and the next half hour episode.
It is repeated on Tuesday in the UK in its two afternoon slots as a one hour episode. Then on Thursday they get double episodes and catch up to us.

Also liked the opening credits being removed. Also very interesting to see many storylines unravel including the relationships between Steph & Jack and Mark & Paige.

It certainly was a cracking episode. Every episode needs to be top notch like this.
Natalie Bassingthwaighte as Izzy just smashed it out of the park. Her interactions with Karl, Susan and Paul were brilliant.
