THE FEUD. CH 5 9pm mon to wed - TV PACE NO SPOILERS

[Blondeshavemorefun]

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.'

Just checked. The body is in her kitchen

so we have two dead bodies ?

Maybe she killed the builder

It’s like comedic music isn’t so incongruous - the whole thing is absolute rubbish 🤣

I loved Rupert PJ in both Whitechapel and Silks. Is it me or has he done something to his face? I can’t pin my finger on it. He is certainly a bit of a wet character in this.

@MichaelandKirk its just probably him trying not to laugh at how ridiculous it is.

I like it. It has a comedic feel to it. Cannot wait for next few episodes!

I agree but I don’t think it is meant to be a comedy ! 🤣

I'm enjoying it. Tessa P-J's ageing makes me feel sad though. I just think of her as young, beautiful Raquel. I saw her in the street in Oxford, over 25 years ago, and she looked lovely.

I didnt think nice husband Rupert PJ was actually having an affair with Mrs bad actor

I don’t know if this is meant to be funny but it is having a few moments where I’m chuckling … I’m waiting for Pauline to reappear for a “behind the curtain” moment @blondesthen I’ll be in my element

genuine question…..can you actually take professional photographs with a phone camera ? As I have not seen ‘obligatory in all made for TV dramas grumpy teenage child’ with a camera

Lee is very intimidating. I like the way they just keep on fobbing him off over money though! He doesn’t look the sort you’d mess with easily or the other one doing the sawing in a menacing manner. His obviously in cahoots with Alan too.

Sonia is pregnant by John. They actually seem a nice couple tbh! Certainly better than the ones they are actually with!

Barbara would make a good Pauline! Maybe she’ll appear through that bit of tarpaulin they have up ,
mash up both ‘ the teacher ‘ and ‘ love rat’ as a homage to really bad channel five dramas.
Although this also has elements of a black comedy as well.

I think it is meant to be a dark comedy rather than a serious crime drama but even so it did get a bit farcical last night.

She's a solicitor, why doesn't she see constantly banging on Derek's door is harassment.

As soon as he was on the floor why didn't they just ring 999 and say he slipped.

What a long winded way to reveal pics of the cheating dad to the daughter.

You just would not hire such a hopeless builder demanding cash payments here and there.

Strangely watchable though!

I can imagine his face when his agent got him this gig. But I'm an ACTOR! Needs must, Rupert.

Also, hot shot solicitor has only one coat?

Definitely watching tonight (and tomororow!). Agree re those photos of John cheating. John comes across as a bit dim and that is not the Rupert PJ I know!

TBH its nice to have a drama that has its tongue in its cheek rather than something deadly serious or depressing (i,e Adolenense)

PS: I know he is just acting....

I loved how fed up she was! Can’t wonder at it though Dead birds, a broken car back window , her daughter off out all the time , a threatening pair of builders , trying to get Derek to confess to his crimes ( and that awful jazz music) , no sign of the kitchen ever being done , her husband has got another woman pregnant ( although she isn’t aware of that one yet) suspended from her job and the police woman is out to get them all and a nasty dad and a mad security obsessed neighbour.
It’s pretty full on isn’t it! Lol

Same @foxlover47

if there’s gonna be a curtain it’s a ch 5 drama

😂😂😂

Who was the person we caught a glimpse of last week with the skeleton mask on? what became of him or her ?

I’m not sure if I’m thinking it’s so bad it’s good or it’s just bad!

We don't know

It’s not great, but it’s oddly watchable! ..
If only to see what they will do with Derek
they should just ring 999 and say he fell over ( as mentioned below) but they probably won’t and make it all worse for themselves I suppose !
