I love how Ian Smith played this. Listening to his voice over reading his sons note and the way he uses his tone on 'put an end to Robinsons evil' and the shot of his face in that moment was genuinely chilling.
You could see at 1:41 that Harold didn't really want to strangle Paul but felt it was the only ''to put an end to Robinson's evil'' then realised it was the wrong thing to do after Paul collapsed. Harold later told Paul he strangled him and didn't tell anyone. It wasn't actually Paul's fault the plane went down as it turned out that Robert put a bomb on it.
I didn't watch Neighbours that much but my sister loved it, she even visited Ramsey street and got a photo with Doctor Carl. One thing I do remember is also wanting to kill Paul as he was essentially a crippled guy, but a really bad crippled guy!
everyone saying that Harold strangling Paul was out of character - don't forget Paul doing most of the shit he did between returning in 2004 and getting the brain surgery in 2007 was out of character - he was the average bloke when the series started, had plenty of friends and family. all went to shit when his first wife shot him. then began the saga of dodgy business dealings, hostile takeovers of the corporate world, affairs, cheating people out of money, attempting to knock down Ramsay Street to build a megamall (a storyline that was repeated in 2005 funnily enough) and then finally with the fraud storyline that sent him packing to South America with his wife at the time and his son Andrew (forget who the wife was) but to go from the dodgy dealings in 1993 to murder and arson and all that real criminal stuff in 2004 was a big step and farcry from the character that went on the run in 1993 and ended up in jail for a few years for fraud. and consider this - Paul burned down Harold's Coffee Shop (one of the few things from the Madge years that still remained), returned to town, made a move on Harold's daughter in law, framed Harold's son for fraud so that he could get in bed with the wifey, made dodgy deals with Affirmacon to knock down Ramsay Street to build a mall (even going as far as to blackmail the bloke that Harold got to examine the wetlands so that he too would say that Ramsay Street would end up underwater) , polluting the water (killing the wildlife and eventually being indirectly responsible for Stingray's death in 2007), and all this came to light before the saga with Paul's leg amputation so Harold knew all of Paul's dodgy stuff and the truth about David being framed. And then of course when it emerged that Paul was sleeping around with Izzy around the same time he was wooing Lil, that had to be another mark against Paul's name in Harold's book. I'd say by this time, with the death of his son in a plane bombing targeting Paul, and the letter he found in the jacket saying he hoped someone would end Paul's evil, Harold was well and truly justified in doing what he did (not in the eyes of the law as attempted murder is never justifiable, but in the eyes of a bloke who had so much shit happen to him all because of the local tycoon) When it comes to Paul, what was out of character for him was forgiving Harold when he confessed to strangling him, as in character, he would have plotted revenge instantly, but thankfully the bitchy Izzy put Paul in his place and made sure to get revenge on Harold
Paul’s wife at the time he fled was Christina, one of the Alessi twins. I wish they hadn’t changed him to evil. I understand why Harold would have a meltdown after every bad thing that happened to him though.
How many lives can Paul Robinson have? I mean, first he goes over a cliff, then the plane crash, then the poison pen letters, then getting strangled by Harold, then the mine shaft saga, then getting shot by his evil son, then the brain tumour and then Rebecca pushing him off the mezzanine! How can someone survive that? But then again I guess snakes can survive anything, right? rofl:))))
And that's only since he came back! In his first stint he was shot by his murderous first wife, was involved in a spectacular car crash and nearly froze to death lost in the bush overnight lol!
the sugarhill gang released one of the first rap records over 30 years ago, i saw them in 1999 and they still play, many artists from the 80's still play. you can't say they have no longevity, the music's too young. decent rappers are about wordplay and meaning. you just know the 'guns bitches n bling' crap on tv. and you're right, that is shit. :)
the good melody and good production part, yes. badly recorded out of tune music can still be brilliant in the right hands. good lyrics and good vocals are subjective.
ok, it's just that your criteria for what makes good music is really narrow. no probs! (and i wasn't forced to listen to anything, i used to play the records myself and those were the ones that got slowly filtered out!)
we agree on something! 50 cent is crap. check out jurassic 5, sage francis, dj format, abdominal, mc paul barman, mf doom, deltron 3000, dead prez, scroobius pip, and other modern stuff that may be linked from them. good rap's still there, just not on tv.
see, what we have here is a distinct lack of understanding of both punk and hip-hop. it might seem that way to the untrained ear, but you just have an opinion that is based on a lack of knowledge. whereas i listened to my dad's country records a lot when i was growing up and most of it is, save a few artists, cliched crap. also, true musical genius does not always equal being really good at singing or playing the guitar.
Horrendous! The absolute nadir of the OTT 2005-2007 Years. Although Harold was grieving, Ian Smith should have put his foot down with the scriptwriters and refused to do this.
Geez what is it with all the comments about crap hip hop "music". No talent whatsoever there. Stefan Dennis has more musical talent than that shite, check out "This Love Affair" and "Don't It Make You Feel Good", much better than any (c)rapper ever!

Harold's head is literally like a balloon with a face painted on 😂😅😊
This was absolute peak Neighbours!! Omg I miss it so much
for now but they said it was coming back but only on amazon
Holy crap! How have I never seen this before?? It's like a scene from Terminator 36! Harold Bishop is a total fucking badass!!

I burst into tears of shock when I first saw this scene. The second best in Neighbours after the plane crash!
The single greatest scene in television history.
Nearly every character tried to kill Paul in 2005.
I didn't watch Neighbours that much but my sister loved it, she even visited Ramsey street and got a photo with Doctor Carl. One thing I do remember is also wanting to kill Paul as he was essentially a crippled guy, but a really bad crippled guy!
Just like everyone had Phil Mitchell in Eastenders
And many of them were killed.

Can u both write my essays for me plz
Paul’s wife at the time he fled was Christina, one of the Alessi twins. I wish they hadn’t changed him to evil. I understand why Harold would have a meltdown after every bad thing that happened to him though.
Better than Wikipedia this 🌠
1:33 you know shit is about to go down
Who would’ve thought a nice and caring man like Harold Bishop try and take another man’s life?
he was driven by grief
Amazing how they just walk in. They should really lock the doors.
as harlod approaches paul from behind I truly believe this is the most terrifying moment in Australian television history.
hahaha he'd make a great tv serial killer
Heck yes
Neighbours golden era
God DAMN that is powerful stuff.
who knew harold could be such a fucking beast
How many lives can Paul Robinson have?

I can't believe how long ago the "who pushed Paul?" storyline aired. This is terrifying and disheartening
@@codyw1 Paul Robinson is what Phil Mitchell is in Eastenders.
@@jaggass The Undertakers
You forgot his wife shooting him.
Funniest scene in all of Neghbours.
Harold's shoulders look fuckin huge!
.... [i]neighbours become good friends[/i]
I liked the scene around this time where Harold was caught perving through the window at his grandaughter Sky's lingerie party.
Didn't he also grab Izzy's ass? Breaking bad Harold was the best!
the sugarhill gang released one of the first rap records over 30 years ago, i saw them in 1999 and they still play, many artists from the 80's still play. you can't say they have no longevity, the music's too young. decent rappers are about wordplay and meaning. you just know the 'guns bitches n bling' crap on tv. and you're right, that is shit. :)
Woah Harold, cool down mate.
He's a naughty Harold. Yes he is .
The day Neighbours went full on John Carpenter
@nath909 You mean...bummed him?
i wonder if harold stuck one in paul robinson, on the quiet like.
harrrooolllllddddd!!!!!
classic neighbours.
harold's insanity
Harold.... What did you do?
@ELMATO9 they didnt he took a tour of australia or something
the good melody and good production part, yes.
badly recorded out of tune music can still be brilliant in the right hands.
good lyrics and good vocals are subjective.
what, were pauls arms painted on? could he not stop old old feeble harold??
puhleeease!! :)
Go on Harold kick him in his Bollock's just for good measure mate !! HAROLD RULES !
lol
In 2005 and 2006 Paul was so evil
I hope someone succeeds where Harold failed.
Neighbours had lost its way by this point.
more entertaining then today
So this is what Paul Robinson is up to now after dropped from England team
Good soliloquy by Harold ; necessary as this would be seen as completely out of character for him.
Christmas decorations?! On NEIGHBOURS?????
ok, it's just that your criteria for what makes good music is really narrow. no probs!
(and i wasn't forced to listen to anything, i used to play the records myself and those were the ones that got slowly filtered out!)
That didnt take much to do it. Lol. Either Paul is really weak, or Harold is really skilled in chosk holds. Loooool.
Why does Harold speak like an upper class englishman?
It wasn't Harold talking, it was David narrating
@ELMATO9 oh! i see! XD
haha
does paul die??
No 2021
Der no
lawl
Garth Brooks, hahaha
You're dreaming mate.
