Didn’t the original Neighbours background map that was from UBD was also edited?
I’m sure that made it appear to have Erinsborough and a few other fake suburb names too from a real map.
I believe they had to get permission to use a UBD style map in the credits. UBD might have even created it for them.

It was a lovely send off for Harold/Ian, especially all the flashbacks with Madge. Made me a bit teary! It’s a shame they didn’t get time to explore more of the Harold/Agnes storyline but I hope she stays on the show a bit longer so she can wrap up the storyline. I understand why Max was there because he’s a Ramsay, but what was Harold’s link with Aaron?

Probably because he’s a Ramsay Street long-termer. He’s Paul’s son-in-law and has a child with Jane’s daughter, so close enough.
The most frustrating thing about Neighbours farewells is how they don’t plan them in advance. Harold says he’s going back to Queensland and then he leaves the next day. Surely they could have done it so it was “three days later” or something close to believable.

I found it a bit underwhelming personally. For instance, Harold and JJ were extremely close, but there was no goodbye scene between them, and there was also no scene of him actually leaving the street.

Well, considering he wasn’t living on the street but the retirement village, he wouldn’t technically be “leaving the street” when he left Erinsborough.
Think about the theme song “Thats when good neighbours, become good friends”

Caught up with Harold’s farewell episode this afternoon, and noticed an error with the captions during the opening credits.
The caption on the theme song lyric said:
I think that should be “You can find the perfect blend”.

The captions aren’t the best for Neighbours - for example, quite often Karl ends up being spelt as Carl
I thought ‘plan’ was the lyric when Barry Crocker first sang it in 1985. Maybe my old ears have been deciving me all these years. Maybe that smart AI bot has the same ears as me too.
aren’t they just AI generated? Probably not clever enough to get the nuance in spelling/pronunciation, etc.

Probably are these days
Not probably. Definitely.
All captions sre produced by AI-Media and they are not great.
Never got the meaning of either ‘plan’ or ‘blend’ in contex . What are these neighbours planning or blending?
In context.
Neighbours,
Everybody needs good neighbours
With a little understanding
You can find the perfect blend
So if you have a little bit of understanding, you can find your perfect blend of good neighbours.

I get it, yes. Can’t really live with or without your neighbours unles you move away I suppose. We need to understand our neighbours (in whats going on in each others lives), we can find the perfect blend in making all our lives in the neighbour better.
Well I guess that being neighbours and all, they’re always going over each other’s house having coffee…
(with the perfect blend). Nescafe, Maxwell House, Moccona.
