Nightmares

Some find themselves at the mercy of Mother Nature, as overnight coastal collapses threaten the very ground they are built on. Elsewhere, Spanish slug infestations and subterranean badgers encroach on otherwise peaceful greens. But the most jaw-dropping tale of all comes courtesy of an audacious thief who manages to steal an entire lawn - in broad daylight.

You have the keys to your dream home and are ready to move in. But have you really checked out the neighbourhood? This documentary explores the changing face of the nightmare neighbour– from the resident who attacks you on youtube, to rampaging wild boars, to opportunistic neighbours who will buy up your front lawn without you knowing it.

The assaults can hit any one of your senses – smell, sight and sound - and this programme reveals some of the worst. From the stench of a 24/7 abbattoir, to the ghostly rumble of a night time tube, to the shock of seeing a block of flats thrown up at the bottom of the garden. Residents, you have been warned.
