Given that the show is finally coming to an end, understanding how to watch Neighbours' last-ever episode is a hot-button issue for fans. After nearly four decades on the air, Neighbours' last episode will finally drop on Channel 5 in the UK and Channel 10 in Australia. The legendary soap has served as a petri dish for some of Australia's biggest superstars (including Thor: Love and Thunderstar Russell Crowe), kickstarting some of the most successful careers in the entertainment industry.

In fact, the famous wedding episode between Scott and Charlene set national records for the most-watched television event of all time. However, despite this popularity, the show was finally axed after UK hosts Channel 5 decided to drop the series for new projects.
