Neighbours aired its much-anticipated finale to huge fan acclaim last night (29th July), but some viewers noticed a few things amiss.<\/p>\n

Fans of the long-running soap took to social media during the episode to note that some scenes which were included in the Australian broadcast of the finale had been trimmed in the Channel 5 version.<\/p>\n

Viewers noticed that Sky Mangel\u2019s (Stephanie McIntosh) video cameo had been removed, while a brief moment where Natalie Imbruglia\u2019s Beth Brennan tells son Ned Willis that she loves him had also been cut.<\/p>\n

A sweet exchange involving Karl (Alan Fletcher) and Susan Kennedy (Jackie Woodburne) and Toadie Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) had also been taken out of the UK showing \u2013 the moment saw Karl tell Toadie: \u201cToad, you\u2019re like a son to us \u2013 well that\u2019s ridiculous, isn\u2019t it? Toad, you are<\/em> a son to us. Toadie, Melanie, kids \u2013 you\u2019re part of our family and you always will be.\u201d<\/p>\n

In response to the edits, one fan wrote<\/a> on Twitter: \u201cI don\u2019t really understand why they couldn\u2019t just add another 5 minutes to the running time so that there weren\u2019t any cuts made. I know these are only small cuts but some lovely lines and moments that would\u2019ve been lovely to see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another added<\/a>: \u201cIt seems I need to watch the Australian version as we missed a lovely scene between toady, karl and Susan. I mean, it\u2019s no hardship to watch it again but come on Channel 5!\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that the broadcast schedule was slightly different in Australia compared to the UK.<\/p>\n

On Network 10, the finale went out on Thursday and was a 90-minute-long special comprising the last three episodes cut together, while Channel 5 aired the antepenultimate episode in its traditional slot of 1:45pm and 6pm on Friday, with the final two episodes making up the hour-long special at 9pm.<\/p>\n

RadioTimes.com<\/a> has reached out to Channel 5 for any comment.<\/p>

The Neighbours finale<\/a>\u00a0itself was widely praised by fans both old and new<\/a>, with viewers declaring it \u201cso wonderful\u201d and the \u201cend of an era\u201d.<\/p>\n

There was also one moment that didn\u2019t make it into either the UK or the Australian broadcast, with the soap\u2019s script producer Shane Isheev detailing one emotional scene that sadly had to be cut for time<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
