Question

Sorry to be such a stickler for detail, but 'Neighbours' (the soap) is from Australia.

Santa

Sorry 'Norwich' ... I stand corrected as far as the country where the soap originated ... in any case, you obviously know which soap I'm talking about --- do you happen to know the answer to the question?

Sorry if my first posting seemed rude, Santa - It's not easy to express yourself clearly with words on a screen! It's just that, considering this site is read by people of many nations, any inaccuracies, however obvious they may be to some of us, may not be so obvious to all - More than once I've used a search engine to try and find an answer to a question, only to discover later that the reason why I couldn't find it was because, unknown to me at the time, a certain part of the question had been mistyped, and so consequently my requests on Google produced nothing. The question concerned an actress named Samantha Caine, which had been typed as GAINE. Having never heard of such a lady, I was not aware of there being a typo. As I'm British, Samantha Caine is not a familiar name. The soap 'Neighbours' might be unfamiliar in other countries, too. , Goodness me, don't I go on and on once I get started!!

I would like to provide an answer to your question. I know that Neighbours is both Australian and there is a different series by the same name in Britain. I actually watch the Australian Neighbours, but I can't think of who had a heartattack unless it was either Harold or Lou. I haven't seen this part of the series, so I'm sorry I cannot help you further.

Maybe try going to www.neighbours.com and trying to find out there by looking through the episode archives.

Norwich ... no offense taken --- Thanks for correcting my error --- please accept my apologies if I also seemed a bit rude with my response back to you. If anyone has the answer to this question, I'd really appreciate your help ... thanks.

Kali...thanks for yor help...however, I have a question for you--I checked out the web site you suggested but couldn't locate the episode archives (call me stupid if necessary!!!)---where do I locate the episode archives in the website you suggested?

Santa - I own up to being a Neighours fan ( my son thinks I'm beyond help!!) quick memo to Kali - Its the same programme in Australia and Britain - To continue - I too have searched every site and archive and not only can I not find any clue for you, I don't remember this incident. Where did the question originate?
|
Santa
|
Siskin...In answer to your question about the origins of my question--it was part of a trivia quiz--the question as it appeared on the quiz was 'In Neighbours, who did Madge cause to have a heart attack?And what were they doing that day?' Think it's possible that the answer to the question is that Madge didn't cause anybody to have a heart attack (ie. Is this just a trick question?)

Could be, but what a waste of time for the questioner,don't you think? It does sound as though it is a legitimate question - needs a bit more searching before I throw in the towel!!

Siskin...one bit of information about the quiz that this question was on...the object of the quiz is to see how long your question will last before someone gets it right---it is only replaced on the quiz when someone solves it (the solver gets to replace it with a question of their own), therefore it makes it a bit more plausible that it might just be a trick question...again, let me know what you think.
|
Santa
|
Siskin...one more thing about the quiz---the person who asks the question needs to be able to back up his answer with 'hard evidence' -- the same applies to the solver who must be able to prove their answer correct (if the solvers answer differs from the questioners, the riddlemaster accepts the answer that can be backed up as being the correct answer)

I've just been through seven sites - all on Madge or Anne Charleston, and again cannot find even a tiny clue - You would know the style of this trivia show - whether they are stringing you along or not - It really comes down with your own personal gut feeling,if you like!! Good Luck!

To find the episode archives go to TVguide and then click archives. It gives a very brief description af the episodes. And thak-you for correcting my error in the australian/british area.

Neighbours is definitely made here in Australia and shown (and much loved) in Britain. It hasn't been very popular here for quite a while, and it would have been axed years ago but for it's overseas sales. If you need proof that it's made in Oz and not Britain, just look at all that sunshine!!!
