    Neighbours cast share secrets of the show's return to filming during coronavirus pandemic
    It's all change on set.

    Neighbours has released a new video showing how life on set has changed for cast and crew due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    The Aussie show recently led the way in the TV industry by resuming filming with strict new guidelines to keep the team safe.

    New behind-the-scenes footage now shows Takaya Honda (David Tanaka), Matt Wilson (Aaron Brennan), April Rose Pengilly (Chloe Brennan) and Tim Robards (Pierce Greyson) lift the lid on how it's being done.

    The Neighbours studios in Nunawading, Melbourne have been split into four different "zones" in order to control the movement of cast and crew.

    Cast are filming in small groups, with limited crossover, and must adhere to strict social distancing guidelines on set.

    Other changes include temperature checks on arrival and hand sanitiser stations now installed in various places around the set.

    Male cast members are no longer going in the make-up chair, while female cast members aren't having their make-up touched up throughout the day.

    The show has also stopped using extras for the time being, with members of the production team stepping in to be background artists in scenes where necessary.

    Members of the Neighbours team who don't need to be on set, such as the script and story department, are working from home. A number of scripts have been rewritten to remove intimate moments between the characters.

    Neighbours returned to filming last month and its rival Home and Away will follow suit next week.

    In the UK, ITV's Emmerdale has also started filming again for six special "lockdown" episodes showing how the characters have been coping during the pandemic.

    Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).
