Date de diffusion: Avr 22, 2014

The De Roper family thought that they had found their dream home when they moved into a house in Yeovil, Somerset. That dream was rudely shattered by their larger-than-life neighbour Peter Stoodley and his 120 noisy chickens and cockerels running riot in his small backyard. As well as the chickens, there were rats feasting on the rotting eggs and carcases of dead chickens scattered around the yard. The family spent the next two years battling to persuade the authorities to give Mr Stoodley an ASBO banning him from keeping animals. They finally got what they hoped for, but five years on, their neighbour has other ideas... After moving into a quiet village in Anglesey, 67-year-old Pamela Booth was delighted when her new neighbour Delyth Jones befriended her with kind offers to help her around the house. However, Delyth had an ulterior motive. A year into their friendship, Pamela found out that she had been fraudulently using her bank card and had systematically robbed her of more than £1,000 over ten months. Delyth pleaded guilty in court, but Pamela no longer has a friend and is unable to pay her winter heating bills. Budding rapper Elvis once topped the charts in his native Kenya, but his dreams of making it big in the UK music industry have landed him in a heap of trouble with his neighbours in Dagenham. They complain that the 24-year-old wannabe repeatedly keeps them awake by playing loud music into the early hours in his flat. Despite 80 complaints, a number of visits from the council and a noise abatement order, the self-proclaimed 'music terrorist' is unrepentant. Even when he receives a £1,000 fine, he remains defiant. He just moves his beat-making to his brother's house, a mile away.
