Love Thy Neighbour in Australia

Love Thy Neighbour in Australia is a seven-episode Australian television comedy series which debuted on ATN-7 in Sydney on 9 April 1980.[1] Most of the episodes were broadcast in Melbourne beginning the following month.[2] It was produced as a sequel to the British series Love Thy Neighbour (1972–1976) featuring one of the major protagonists Eddie Booth (Jack Smethurst).[3] The central concept is that Eddie has relocated to Australia and intends to send for his wife and child once he has settled. While the earlier series had focused on Eddie's rivalry with his neighbour Bill Reynolds, the sequel focused on a new set of relationships unrelated to the original show's premise. Here, he is boarding with a married couple, Joyce and Bernard, and conflicting with his Dutch-Australian next door neighbour, Jim Lawson, played by Russell Newman. External scenes were shot in Auburn Road, Auburn NSW with 191 Auburn Road serving as Joyce, Bernard and Eddie's home.
