by Glen's father, Roger (D.J. Foster), who angrily informs him that Glen may never walk again as a result of his injuries. Evan quickly defends Matt and the tension between them eases. Matt's sentence is a fine instead of prison. This, and the legal fees, bankrupt the family and they are forced to sell their house. Matt visits Harold and apologises, which Harold accepts. Matt appears in Annalise Hartman's (Kimberly Davies) documentary about Ramsay Street. He has become a businessman and he explains that the reason he liked Ramsay Street was everything was so laid back. He adds that Lou's pub was the only place to go and that it is no wonder it was burned down. Reception In June 2002, Matt came sixth in a poll run by Newsround to find viewer's favourite Neighbours character. He received 2.34% of the vote. A writer for Newsround called Matt a "heart-throb", while James Joyce of The Newcastle Herald branded him a "pin-up." The BBC said Matt's most notable moment was "His participation in an illegal drag race which saw him injure Harold, himself and Leo." Tom Adair of The Scotsman was not a fan of the Hancock family and cheered their departures. He described them as "boring, whinging, plot-clogging, wastes of space".
