Didn't know you Aussies had 'Thomas the Tank Engine'! Guess its serves you right for giving us 'Neighbours'. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
I have a young son, so we have Thomas on TV, Thomas books, Thomas Snap cards ... even a wooden Thomas model railway set (behind me as I type).. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
As for Neighbours, I think that it's made to export for the English to watch so they can get a bit of sunshine. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> I can honestly say that I've never seen it, and I don't know anybody who does watch it. But I expect it does have a following amongst the soapie set here. We seem to get a heck of a lot of American and English TV though, detective shows being high on the list. Australia also exports a kids show called "Bananas in Pyjamas", which you might say is our revenge for Thomas the Tank Engine and Sesame Street. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
And congratulations to Bean too. Short and sweet (the caption that is - not sure about bean's dimensions.... )
