Just been watching the episodes banned by the BBC that involved Lucy Robinson and her half brother Glen getting together.

These eps were not shown by the BBC at the time, as they were considered unsuitable for a tea-time slot, but they were shown in full by UK Gold years later.

I always thought it a bit odd that neighbours went with this storyline, it didnt seem to fit with the rest of the show which was mostly light hearted and family orientated. But the episodes were quite well produced and provided for good drama.

in these eps you'll see a young(er) Paul Robinson, Lucy, Todd Landers, Jim, Helen, Harolds neice Gemma and Doug and Pam.

It was great to see Doug and Pam in recent episodes just last month on Channel 5.

I remember the BBC butchered these episodes so much that on one particular day neighbours had been edited so much it didnt start til 5.40pm and included a 4 minute catch up of the previous episode.

Glenn was rather hot! Paul actually still has a bit of family left from what I can remember..yet he never mentions them and is only upset/worried about his niece. Yes fair enough he was very close to her and looking after her like a dad but he does have other family he could take the time to see? Was Shane Ramsay ever told he had a half sister he didn't know about? Shane was Paul's best friend too

Glen had an accident and was left in a wheelchair and then left for treatment iitC. Incest was quite a favourite subject in Australian soaps in the 80s and 90s (Sons and Daughters covered it several times, in fact it was the primary plot of the first few months) but I suppose because Neighbours was perceived to have such a large, child audience the BBC got cold feet.

Paul shows no interest in his niece Hannah although I suppose Daniel has now shown up. Him not being interested in Glen or his kids is more understandable as they didn't grow up together, only knew each other for a few months and didn't like each other.

the show hinted at it with Paige and Josh, but it never went anywhere.

Looking at these clips it looks as if nothing actually happened between them.

It nearly did and they did contemplate it but they did not go through with
