Sometime in 1992 I think though it could have been early 1993. It was definately sometime in there, sorry I can't be more precise!

I think the problem with ITV and a certain respect the BBC with Neighbours is that they tagged their soaps onto the end of their childrens broadcasting and in a certain respect wanted Home and Away and Neighbours to be childrens programmes when in fact, despite not being Eastenders or Brookside gritty they weren't exactly a big jolly in the park either.

The credits didn't actually disappear in all regions at the same time.

I think most regions stopped showing the credits in late 1993/early 1994 (our time), during the 1993 season, but Carlton (London) were still showing them about a year later.

Yes sorry, the years I gave were the season years, not the actual years they aired in the UK.

Ryan I think that was part of the problem. For while the show was on at 6pm (between the main news and the local news) and I don't think the cutting was so bad then. It definately got a lot worse when it went back to it's original 5.10pm slot. I also think from about 1998-2000 ITV were trying to squeeze the show into a slot of about 18 minutes (including ads) so they would cut anything they could get away with to save time.

Most ITV cut the closing titles in Novermber 1993, just after Dale's death was shown. I read this on the old 'Home and Away Uncut' website a few years ago.

Most ITV regions cut the closing titles in November 1993, just after Dale died.

So that explains it! I found it weird that most of my episodes in that period are 18 minutes instead of the standard 22.
