Once you get over the initially misleading idea that this is a comedy, there's a certain miserable fascination about this step-by-step domestic tragedy - especially for anyone who's ever suffered from such a semi-detached feud. Mr and Mrs Peach (Ricky Tomlinson, Marion Bailey) are the neighbours from hell. He's a failed salesman behind with the mortgage, she a fandango-dotty dinner lady headed for a breakdown. They've already driven previous neighbours to Australia, but the new people next door are something else: a wheeler-dealer (Phil Daniels) and his flashy wife (Rachel Fielding). Very soon, car-scratching and pansy-wrecking are on the cross-fence hostility menu and things escalate to lethal proportions. Taking a common situation to extremes, director Debbie Isitt shows us sad, sad people with whom it's impossible to empathise. Not very good as entertainment, the film's rather more tasty as food for thought.
