BBC pulls out of Neighbours fight
Full story on BBC News Online
Quote:
The BBC has pulled out of a bidding war for the long-running Australian daytime soap Neighbours.
The show has aired twice a day since 1986, but the BBC has now withdrawn from talks to renew its contract.
BBC One controller Peter Fincham said he had been asked to pay £300m over eight years - "roughly three times" what the BBC had already been paying.
"We'd love to have kept it but not at any price," he said. The show will end on BBC One next spring.
