Another ch 5 drama

We love a ch 5 😂

The feud is a new 6 part drama - airing for 3 nights a week x 2 weeks

What can happen when a neighbourly dispute gets out of hand

Jill and Rupert play a couple - Emma and John who fall out with their neighbours Sonja and Alan over extending their kitchen and an extension

The Feud, an upcoming domestic thriller, takes the tension of "nightmare neighbours" and raises it to a whole new level, blending gripping drama with a cast of familiar faces that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Starring Jill Halfpenny and Rupert Penry-Jones, this Channel 5 drama (https://www.yours.co.uk/leisure/celebrity-tv/channel-5-dramas/) is "full of paranoia“ and promises to pull viewers into a world where trust is scarc
e, and every interaction feels like it could ignite a powder keg.

'Emma and John Barnett, who, along with their teenage daughter Beth, appear to live an idyllic life on Shelbury Drive.

They’re close friends with their neighbours, Sonia and Alan, and despite their foibles, are also fond of older couple, Derek and Barbara.

'The close friendships in this seemingly peaceful street prove to be not quite as harmonious as they seem', teases the synopsis.

'When Emma and John decide to add a kitchen extension to their house, things quickly start to spin drastically out of control.

As objections to the plans are raised, unexpected skeletons and life-threatening secrets begin to rise to the surface.

Laced with menace, The Feud reveals how Emma’s aspirational dream turns sharply into obsession, paranoia, and fear. One decision sets in motion events that have unforeseeable consequences for both her and the people living on her street.'

Yes but very brazen with cctv man right across the street 🤔

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/04/2025 20:11

Ah. I assumed dad was talking to him to pay him some money to speed the planning up

Not that he was dodgy

i wasn’t sure if you had somehow seen 3 and it was made obvious there

It was definitely Alan he was talking to. It showed it

So CCTV guy is blackmailing John because he wants parking permits

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 16/04/2025 21:28

This has got tonight’s episode to grab me or I’m out. There’s not one likeable character, apart from the cat and I’m worried something will happen to it.

And I can’t cope with James Fleet playing someone unpleasant.

JewelleryCat · 16/04/2025 21:54

Oh dear, Sonia is pregnant

Papergirl1968 · 16/04/2025 22:54

Alan is a former carpenter turned optician from what he said tonight, so although there was a dodgy conversation with the builder, he doesn’t work in planning or anything.
Hope all will be revealed and loose ends tied up, unlike in some C5 dramas.

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/04/2025 22:55

So is it neighbours baby. Or is it innocent like he said to cctv man

ans she’s crying as knows it’s hubbys baby but he doesn’t want kids

tho I got the impression he wanted kids

obv if been Playing away then be obvious when Baby is born

was the cafe pic with her dad in the window

another magpie 😢

Yes.

Papergirl1968 · 16/04/2025 23:07

Yes, Blondes, John and Sonia in the cafe, I think.
But John looked genuinely baffled when CCTV guy mentioned it. Although I can’t imagine an innocent reason for him being in Sonia’s bedroom when she draws the curtains.
I can’t stand that patterned cardigan John wears. It’s a passion killer all right!

Papergirl1968 · 16/04/2025 23:08

When CVTV guy mentioned he had some incriminating footage, I meant

Blondeshavemorefun · 17/04/2025 00:36

Agree. It seemed innocent and he hadn’t a clue what he was on about it even wife

TwigsAndBranches · 17/04/2025 01:46

I’m enjoying it 🙈
cctv man looks like Claude who used to be a judge on the Apprentice!

Augustus40 · 17/04/2025 08:00

Corny yet compelling to watch.

the80sweregreat · 17/04/2025 08:25

I loath jazz music and I don’t know how they could sit there and try and have a conversation with that coming through the walls. His poor wife too.
The poor magpies being killed too ;(
The police lady has a lovely camera , a proper long lens journalist one!
Her dad is going to wreck revenge now too I suppose or pull the planning ? Peter Barlow is a horrible builder !
Sonia’s husband knows about the affair I think ?

the80sweregreat · 17/04/2025 08:27

Yes. I thought that the security man actor looks a bit like Claude Littner from the apprentice.
( which has its final tonight , Claude was on it last week!)

def male

Def male. Builder or husband, dad or neighbour or cctv man. Have I missed anyone?

Im finding the police woman odd especially when interacting with the daughter.

Agree lots of unlikeable characters.

Augustus40 · 17/04/2025 14:37

Wonder who is sending the magpie notes.

Gloriia · 17/04/2025 14:43

I reckon it's Alan next door. He's the only nice one in it, his smiles hide a darker side imo. He knows his dw is shagging ndn so he's quietly wreaking a bit of revenge what with the dodgy builder and now dead birds..

NewAgeNewMe · 17/04/2025 14:44

It’s one of these programs that I often just skip to the last episode.

Augustus40 · 17/04/2025 14:44

Very intriguing this series!

the80sweregreat · 17/04/2025 15:45

It is weirdly intriguing , if a bit slow at times.
I wonder if the police woman is the one who meets a sticky end? No idea though.
