A raw new documentary series following officers who put themselves into harms way is set to be released, and it’s coming sooner than you think.
With fresh releases landing on Channel 5 such as Police Suspect No.1 and Forensics: Murder Scene, the broadcaster has delivered once more, bringing a series that true crime fans will not want to miss.
With the first episode airing tonight (Wednesday, November 11) at 8pm, At War With Next Door plunges viewers into explosive neighbour disputes and those who are “living in a nightmare”.
It will explores the unpredictable and shocking feuds between neighbours over issues such as noise, anti-social behaviour and fly-tipping as it takes viewers across the UK.
An official synopsis has teased: “One third of Brits admit to an ongoing row with next door. Shockingly, councils across the UK receive a neighbour complaint every 70 seconds.
“Everyone should feel safe in their own home, but many don’t… and are living in a nightmare instead. This series has exclusive access to the battles raging behind Britain’s front doors, as people across the country face off with neighbours from hell.
“From noisy pets to wonky sheds, from creepy neighbours spying on your every move, to music blaring every hour day and night, we meet the people pushed to breaking point by those next door. With raw testimony and shocking footage, this series is not for the faint-hearted.”

Tonight’s episode will plunge viewers into a huge dispute when a drunk woman in a downstairs flat becomes abusive. Her infatuation with her neighbour tips over the edge, as viewers will also see a “creepy resident who starts to steal a young mother’s used sanitary products from her outdoor bin, and a dispute over an unwanted shed turns violent”.
The synopsis continues: “We’re also behind the scenes of Brent Council, in one of London’s busiest and most multicultural areas. We follow the enforcement officers on the frontline against anti-social neighbours, putting themselves in harm’s way to keep neighbour disputes under control.
“This week, they’re tackling a noisy shisha bar, which is driving local residents mad. These are the stories of the most shocking neighbour disputes across the UK.”
With around four episodes expected in total, new instalments will air every Wednesday, taking over the 8pm slot – and already true crime fans say it’s one not to be missed.
Taking to social media, one enthusiast admitted: “At war with the neighbours will probably be like nightmare neighbour next door it used to be on Channel 5 it was so good it finished years ago.” Another stated: “Loving Channel 5 for true crime.”
