The 4×60’ series, made by Nick Parnes’ indie Kalel Productions, is narrated by actor Will Mellor (Mr Bates vs The Post Office) and will debut on November 11.

It documents the unpredictable, shocking and sometimes hilarious feuds between neighbours over issues such as noise, anti-social behaviour, fly-tipping and harassment.

Factual and formats specialist Kalel Productions is behind titles such as disability rights doc The Experiment and Will AI Take My Job?, both for Channel 4. The outfit has previously made 5 shows Vigilante & Proud: Catching the Street Thieves, and Is Your Smartphone Spying on You?.
