Graham Norton Launches ITV’s The Neighbourhood Tonight at 9 p.m. BST

Norton’s hands-on hosting signals ITV’s push for a warmer, high‑emotion take on primetime reality.

Overview

  • The Neighbourhood, which premieres Friday at 9 p.m. on ITV1 and ITVX, places six real households on a custom street to socialise, compete in challenges and outlast rivals for a £250,000 prize.
  • Eliminations happen in public during “Removals,” where each household votes in plain sight and places a For Sale sign outside the home they want gone, with fixed‑rig cameras filming 24/7.
  • The series was shot on a purpose‑built cul‑de‑sac in the Peak District, a setting producers say shaped a bright, village feel that contrasts with the show’s tense vote‑offs.
  • Graham Norton relocated nearby during filming, sets the tone on site, and says the unscripted rows and tearful moments felt genuine rather than staged.
  • The 11‑episode run opens with a busy first weekend and early‑week schedule before settling into Thursdays, with a cast that includes The Bradons of Essex, The Lozman‑Sturrocks of Darlington, The Kandolas & Samra, The Pescuds, The Scouse Haus and The Uni Boys.
