A reporter for '' The Guardian '' stated " As whodunits go it 's not quite up there with who killed JR , or indeed anything to do with '' EastEnders ' '' Dirty Den , but it 's the mystery all '' Neighbours '' fans – yes all of them – are talking about . " Peter Collins of the '' South Wales Echo '' said that he had been " glued to the television " every lunchtime for the countdown towards the 6000th episode . Collins added " Never mind who shot JR . The big question now is : who pushed PR ? . . It is a fascinating question which the programme writers are likely to string out for longer than the Chilean miners were down the mine . " Matt Bayliss of the '' Daily Express '' admitted that he was not afraid to say " teatime telly has never looked so good " . A '' Western Mail '' reporter stated that '' Neighbours '' had pulled out one of soap opera " momentous episodes that get everyone talking . " A '' Daily Record '' journalist proclaimed " Things have got a little '' Orient Express '' on Ramsay Street recently . After all , it 's harder to find somebody without a motive to attack Paul Robinson than somebody with one , which is proving difficult . " The '' Daily Mail 's '' soap critic Jaci Stephen stated " Who pushed Paul Robinson ? It 's a cliff-hanger on Friday , as Mr Nasty 's wicked ways catch up with him . It 's not quite a storyline of the epic proportion of Who Killed JR ? from the days of Dallas , but back in Erinsborough , there are just as many suspects . " In November 2010 , a '' TV Week '' journalist placed the plot at number twenty-one on their " 100 Most Memorable TV Events of 2010 " list . The journalist commented that Paul proved he had more lives than a cat after he was pushed of the balcony and that Rebecca being his attacker was " the greatest shock " . In March 2012 , MSN TV 's Lorna Cooper included " Who Pushed P.R. ? " in her list of the best and worst soap whodunits . Cooper gave the storyline seven out of ten and noted " In a reveal that was always very likely , it was Rebecca who nearly killed Paul . After finding out about her husband 's many indiscretions , she took her revenge . " Judy Johnson from Dollymix included the storyline in her feature on the top five soap mysteries in July 2012 . She wrote " We could n't possibly forget Aussie soap '' Neighbours '' in the whodunits hall of fame . ... Shoved off the balcony at Lassiters , Paul was left fighting for his life with very little sympathy given his naughty ways ; the series ' villain had made quite a few enemies in the weeks leading up to the anniversary episode thanks to his various affairs and deceit . " In April 2017 , Daniel Kilkelly of Digital Spy included the storyline in his feature on the ten best soap whodunits . He commented , " There 's no prizes for guessing where '' Neighbours '' took their inspiration from for this storyline , with even the plot 's tagline cheekily referencing '' Dallas ''
