  • Fantastic show!

    Absolutely love the show. Missing Neighbours SO MUCH, so having Tak & Matty here once a week is such a joy- and that’s not to mention the guests! All our favourites, with wonderful behind-the-scenes stories from the show, but also it’s been really amazing to hear about their work pre- and post-Neighbours. Let’s hope the show returns in some form or another eventually, but in the meantime, Tak & Matty are doing such a fan service here- huge thanks to you both and to each & every one of your fabul... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

olivia junkeer (yashvi from neighbours) | 21
Q: How did Neighbours set you up for the work you've done since?
Olivia says Neighbours acted as a kind of on-set drama school, teaching her practical craft like hitting marks, lighting, and quick script reading, while shaping a professional approach that contrasts with later slower productions.
actor travis jeffery | 22
Q: Where's your focus when approaching a scene; the larger story or the emotional truth of moment?
The focus shifts by project, but I balance understanding the arc and themes with being emotionally present in the moment, using preparation to free spontaneity on set.
zima anderson (roxy from neighbours) | 07
Q: Has there been any long-term effects from it?
Doctors were unsure of full recovery; she experienced six days of paralysis in a hospital bed, several fractures, and unusual symptoms like a mysterious rash, but gradually regained movement and continued her artistic work.
zima anderson (roxy from neighbours) | 07
Q: What happened?
Zima recounts intuition that something bad would happen during the SAS Australia challenge, the dangerous task, and the chaotic sequence of events that led to her eight-meter fall and subsequent injuries.
april rose pengilly (chloe from neighbours) | 08
Q: What was it like coming back to Neighbours for the revival and dealing with cast changes?
She describes the mix of familiarity and new dynamics, the division between long-time core cast and guest stars, and how the show adapted with different actors stepping into related roles.
