Neighbours to mark 6000 shows with Who Pushed PR?

Neighbours is to celebrate its 6,000th episode with a dramatic Who Shot JR-inspired whodunnit storyline. In the landmark episode, someone tries to murder legendary villain Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) and viewers will be left guessing who out of a number of possible suspects tried to kill him. Paul's life is left hanging by a thread when he plunges from the mezzanine level of Lassiters, and his fall is no accident. The gripping story will screen in the UK on Five in the week commencing October 11, celebrating 25 years of Neighbours. In the week leading up to the milestone 6,000th episode on October 15, a new suspect is revealed each day as viewers see the events leading up to Paul's fall. With so many enemies who had the motive to harm him, it will be very hard to guess 'Who pushed PR?' Meanwhile, as Paul's life hangs in the balance, Donna and Ringo will be getting ready to tie the knot. But with family secrets emerging and a flooded venue to contend with, the popular couple may not even make it down the aisle.
