Friday-Sun 9pm and then Thurs-Sat 9pm (I think),
ITV1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It feels like ITV are really pushing this, six families (or various) move into a street and will compete in challenges and politically strategize to eliminate everybody else (although it sounds like others will move into the street as the 12-episode run progresses). The winning household gets \u00a3250,000. Graham Norton, who you’d assume can choose his own projects these days, plays host.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On paper it’s Survivor<\/strong> meets Brookside<\/em> meets Gogglebox<\/em>, big emphasis on domestic life and neighbourhood gossiping and relationships – seeing what tone this strikes ought to be quite interesting – the adverts suggest it will going for a comedy, middle class surburban curtain-twitching neighbourhood-watch sort of feel. In my head challenges are things like bowling with garden gnomes but I would hope they’re a bit more interestingly pitched than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Really hard to see this as a weekend sort of show that they appear to be putting it out as (although I suppose Gogglebox<\/em> doesn’t shout Friday night on paper), and also not the first time the idea has been tried, a US show called There Goes The Neighborhood<\/strong> where CBS built a 20 ft wall around a block of houses and had the households compete against each other for a $250k prize was a one-series wonder in 2009 and the fact nobody talks about it is possibly telling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll see though. Let us know what you think in the comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
