Channel 5 announced it would be dropping Neighbours in March, a move that led to makers Freemantle Media axing the show after 37 years. Writing on the official Neighbours Twitter, producers said they were "so sorry" but that after "almost 9,000 episodes", Neighbours would "cease production".
The good news is that Neighbours: The Finale has arrived, the nostalgia-tinged soap-fest features a galaxy of former stars including Hollywood actors Margot Robbie (Donna Freedman) and Guy Pearce (Mike Young).
Singer-turned-wine-mogul Kylie Minogue (Charlene Robinson) reunites with Jason Donovan (Scott Robinson), while Delta Goodrem (Nina Tucker) and Natalie Imbruglia (Beth Brennan) pop up alongside fan favourites Ian Smith (Harold Bishop) and Anne Charleston (Madge Bishop).

Watch a Neighbours: The Finale live stream abroad using a VPN
Even if you have subscribed to the relevant Neighbours live stream rights holders, you won't be able to access them when outside your own country. The services will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) can help you get around this obstacle. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, such that the servers and services you’re accessing won't be aware of what you’re doing. All the information passing back and forth will be entirely encrypted.
There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN, which offers a 100 per cent risk-free money-back guarantee. If you're not happy with the service any time within the first 30 days, you can cancel with no penalties at all.
