Show Notes
As Neighbours ends and we say goodbye to Ramsay Street, Annie Jones – a.k.a. Plain Jane Superbrain / Jane Harris – joins Bin Night with Tak And Matty for one last emotional trip to Erinsborough.
Annie is the hug you need as the lights go out on Neighbours for the very last time. She’s gorgeous, funny, effervescent and kind, and she’s been in our living rooms and hearts as Jane Harris off and on since 1986. In the breaks from Neighbours, she’s starred in just about every other major Aussie TV show.
SPOILERS AHEAD – this episode contains spoilers for the final week of Neighbours.
In this episode, Annie, Matty and Tak share: • How they discovered the show was ending again (hint: the cast were not first to know) • How they feel about the way it all wrapped up – what they’d bin and what they’d keep • The producers’ plans to get “more skin” on screen and make Neighbours just a little sexier over the years • Why Plain Jane Superbrain became such an iconic Ramsay Street character for UK and Australian fans • Tak and Matty going full Dad Mode trying to convince Annie to start a YouTube channel documenting her home renovations – and why we now need you to name the show
Here at Bin Night with Tak And Matty we’re hosting your unofficial Neighbours after party, where your favourite Ramsay Street couple wheel the bins out, talk trash and bicker like an old married couple.
Hosted by Takaya Honda (David Tanaka) and Matty Wilson (Aaron Brennan), this is your direct line to all the goss about the show, the cast, the fans and what really happens after the credits roll.
Catch you on the street every single Thursday.
