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.'

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..

Oh could be

marshmallowmix · 17/04/2025 19:08

The builder is nasty! Is this what Peter Barlow is doing these days…

the80sweregreat · 17/04/2025 19:52

I’d be so intimidated by those builders. Why didn’t they hire a small digger for the foundations ? The fence was down between them and the horrible neighbours , it could have got through. I didn’t think they did digging like that by hand ? Not that I know much about building though.

Missing this tonight

Oh. Heck.

Papergirl1968 · 21/04/2025 21:56

Well, that took rather a dramatic turn in the last minute!

the80sweregreat · 21/04/2025 22:02

I bet they end up putting Derek under the tree ! ..
At least they can switch the awful jazz music off now and Barbara may even help them cover it up too!

publicservice · 21/04/2025 22:09

Forget about the blaring jazz, it's the plinky-plonk piano incidental music that I'm finding hilarious throughout. The series wouldn't seem half as low-rent if they'd have just taken that out 🤣

Also: identical hallway panelling in at least 3 of the houses.

Despite naffness, I am enjoying this and genuinely felt gutted for Beth tonight. Surrounded by selfish bastards.

the80sweregreat · 21/04/2025 22:12

I’d love Barbara to bury the old git. Although she might just go for a cover up of some kind in order to get the insurance money ! She needs a new life away from him and all that’s gone on, bless her.

Letsummercommence · 21/04/2025 22:16

I’m currently trying to write a TV script. If people think this is “slow” I’m knackered. Every scene has a new “ secret” !
Why are the characters unlikable? Is it because they aren’t realistic or just the relationships.

the80sweregreat · 21/04/2025 22:17

Those photos were up on a wall Peter Barlow was involved with ! Where on earth was that place ?
Im invested enough to watch the last two episodes, but it’s been a slog.

the80sweregreat · 21/04/2025 22:19

John looks slightly bemused at every scene. I don’t blame him, it’s just bemusing and not well written.

Lascivious · 21/04/2025 22:20

We’ve been watching this despite the fact there has never been a channel 5 drama that’s not absolute shite. It’s given us loads of laughs so far.

Blondeshavemorefun · 21/04/2025 22:20

Omg

just seen the end. Friend rang and I was trying to get them off the phone so had to pause

sooooo

is that the dead body’s feet we see

or is there another one

I thought the glimpse we saw of feet , with body behind the counter

but Derek isn’t laid like that

Not sure which direction it’ll go in now

NeilDiamondsBlowDry · 21/04/2025 22:28

It’s so massive shite but I can’t stop watching it. It’s like itching an infected mosquito bite I can’t stop myself
