Reg Grundy

Reg Grundy, the television producer behind the Australian soap opera Neighbours, has died at his home in Bermuda at age 92.

Grundy's production company also created many of Australia's other biggest TV shows, including The Young Doctors and Prisoner, called Prisoner: Cell Block H in the UK and elsewhere.

He developed Neighbours in the 1980s, with head of drama Reg Watson. The popular soap is still running today.

The Reg Grundy Organisation, founded in 1959, produced many of Australia's most-popular television shows. It has since been bought and is now known as FremantleMedia Australia.
