"Everybody needs good neighbours" noted the theme tune of a popular 1980's Australian soap opera, and indeed, the majority of us do go on to have those good neighbours, that do become good friends - again, as the theme tune of the soap claimed.

The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving  children, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
