The Nightmare Neighbour Next Door

More stories about boundary wars, feuding and antisocial behaviour in Britainʼs supposedly civilised suburbs.

Gillian took advantage of the Howard familyʼs friendship by using their house as a drunken crash pad and even defecated on their bathroom floor.

When Tim moved house, he found out that his new neighbour shared his home with a large menagerie of chickens, cockerels and parrots. Graham and Maggieʼs wish for a peaceful life was ruined after their neighbours started a yurt business.

After Rachel moved out she was clueless to the fact that Clare was to go from nightmare neighbour to murderer in just a few months.

The show features a couple of extreme stories of neighbours whose disputes have led to violent harassment and ultimately catastrophe.

Some Guildford residents are under siege after a neighbour turns his one bedroom council flat into a ʻcannabis cafeʼ. In Wales, some new arrivals manage to upset a small community after they buy the local pub and concert it into a home.

Two feuding families turn their whole street into a war zone.

Among the stories highlighted are that of Leslie, whose neighbours began capturing his activities on film, convinced that his trade business was illegal, and Phil, who was assigned a restraining order after his ex-mayor neighbour made recordings that proved he was harassing her. Also featured are two tales in which old friendships were ruined when certain parties resorted to breaching each other's privacy and round-the-clock surveillance.
