2. Definition:
● A soap set in Australia which storylines and characters are
exaggerated
● In Australian soaps, the non-diegetic music can be a lot more
tropical to fit in with the ‘summer’ theme
● The colours in the background are more warmer toned than British
Soap Operas
● Characters tend to wear more everyday clothing rather than posh
clothes like you’d see in Hollyoaks
4. Neighbours:
● Set in fictional suburb of Melbourne called ‘Erinsborough’
● It is mainly based around the residents of Ramsay Street
● The show was originally going to be named Erinsfield but they changed
the name to ‘Erinsborough’ because it was a loose anagram of ‘Neighbours’
● The school and Ramsay Street were the first set used by the characters
and seen by the audience
● Later developments of the town weren't
featured on-screen until 1986
