Sun reporting that Neighbours has been axed, after talks with Channel 5 and Fremantle have fallen through thesun.co.uk/tv/17558378/ne…
As fans of the show know, Neighbours is more popular in the UK than in Australia. I’m reaching out to Channel 5 and Fremantle Australia for more.
Thinking for Karl and Susan Kennedy and Toadfish at this time.
UPDATE: Sun has now updated their piece saying Neighbours is “facing the axe” rather than has been “axed.”

That’s quite a change.

Worth pointing out in light of #JimmyCarr: Netflix are still not under Ofcom’s jurisdiction, so you can’t complain to them about their content.

You can complain to Netflix directly, or you have to contact the Dutch Media Authority ‘Commissariaat voor de Media.’
Last summer there were some government plans to regulate Netflix, Amazon and Disney+. My understanding is that not much has moved on since then.

The issue is that if you complain to streaming services directly, there’s no real oversight. They can choose to listen or make a change, but its up to them.

Channel 4 new statement on subtitles:
- They say that subtitles are being tested on Channel 4 and More 4 during the day. They said that live subtitling was also possible for Stand Up to Cancer.
- Bake Off, Gogglebox and Extra Slice will have subtitles on catch-up on All 4.
- They add “we know it is not good enough, but it’s a start.”
- They say fixing it is a ‘complex job’ and all testing has been overnight to not risk C4 falling off air again.
- Full access services might not be available until the middle of November (!)
- Cannot rush rebuilding new system “but there is considerable amount of work to be done.”
- “Unfortunately, at the moment we cannot provide audio description or sign language services at all. These services were irretrievably lost during the incident…”
