Neighbours Spoilers 4th - 8th April 2016

I have to say as a big fan of Neighbours that I thought the episode where Josh died was one of the most ludicrous soap episodes I can remember watching. So many suspensions of disbelief were required!

Me too, I was fortunate enough to record it so I could fast forward the first half hour but how disappointing!!

How comes Toadie has gotten caught up in a death trap again?! Poor old toad.

Yeah, it wasn't really an hour special, it was a 30 minute...sort of special. I didn't really get the point of having it at 10, I was hoping for it to maybe be a little more gory, but that didn't happen.
Are licensing laws for music different after 9 or something? The use of chart songs suddenly seemed so random :p

What was the song? I didn't notice it on the Aussie episode tonight.

For Josh's death scene they played Adele's song 'When We Were Young.'
Throughout the episode they played 1D, Zayn and Lucas Graham songs too, but I think it was just for the UK special they had them play, they don't usually use chart music

Yes, that was annoying. The second half was excellent ( apart from Adele wailing above Josh ), but we could have just had a 30 minute special.

Yeah it was really annoying, the fact as well they were like "this is not going to be a repeat episode! This is brand new material!" and then it was half a repeat and half new material...ugh.
If they had said "the first 25 minutes will be the build up again and then new stuff" I don't think I'd have been quite as annoyed

I found Imogen really cold she just ignored her dying brother and followed Daniel.

Yes, that was out of character. There's no way she would have really shown absolutely no concern for Joshua - who she knew was injured too. That was just one of the many occurrences that required a suspension of disbelief from me in that episode.
