Comeback Thursday

There was some truly uplifting news on Thursday.

Obviously, I don’t mean in the Budget, Hell hasn’t frozen over.

(Although it might after its next energy bill – imagine the kwh those fiery pits rack up).

Instead the well-timed pick-me-up came courtesy of Amazon.

For while No11 has done little to help warm our houses, Amazon’s done something big to help warm our souls. Because it turns out... Everybody does need good Neighbours after all. (And not just to borrow candles from when the electricity goes out).

Yes, the streamer’s free Freevee channel is putting right what once went wrong and saving the sunny Aussie soap – four months after its final episode on Channel 5.

A teaser trailer announced the “new season” would start in the UK and US next year – and I can think of only one person who would not be excited: the editor in charge of putting together that streaming service staple, the “Last Season on...” recap.

Why? Because the last “season” was 37 years long.
