How to watch Graham Norton’s new ITV show The Neighbourhood

Norton has hosted a chat show for almost 30 years, hearing stories from the biggest stars in the world, but now he’ll host a new gameshow, The Neighbourhood.

Over 11 episodes in the ITV show, six households, which are made up of real families, friends, and university flatmates, move into separate homes, where they will live side by side 24/7, socialising and taking part in challenges, for the chance to win a £250,000 cash prize.

The show, hosted by the Eurovision commentator, will see them compete in tasks inspired by the things we do every day, as well as navigate relatable domestic drama, and then avoid being voted off and removed from the neighbourhood.

When asked what he found interesting about the new show, he said: “What I loved about The Neighbourhood is that it is a new format.

“It’s not something meets something else.

“I really thought I hadn’t seen this show before.

“It leans into our curiosity about what’s behind closed doors, and there’s something really compelling and addictive about seeing the way the existing households interact with each other.

“I thought I’d watch that – and I’d never want to work on something I wouldn’t watch.

“I thought – this show would hook me!”

He explained how he thinks it’s different to other shows: “Because it is ‘The Neighbourhood’, we can all relate because unless you’re very, very rich, you probably have neighbours!

“We all – even if you don’t necessarily want to – you get drawn into those everyday dramas.

“The ‘you haven’t cut the lawn, they put the bins out wrong, you shouldn’t park there’.

“What the show does is really amp those moments up, and dramatises them even more.

“There’s the gameplay, but because they’re there all the time, there’s the reality that these people really are living next door to each other and watching each other like hawks.

“And like any good neighbourhood, you want your way, but you want to keep everyone sweet, and that’s the skill!

“This show has been cast really well, so these people are all really good at it.”

Who is taking part in The Neighbourhood?

Norton said there are a variety of groups involved in the first series: “We have a traditional, multi-generational family, we’ve got blended modern families, we’ve got twin sisters and one of their girlfriends, we’ve got a university household where they’re flatmates, so the relationships are all different in each household.”

Graham Norton reveals his favourite part of the new show

Graham has shared what he loves about the new show: “One of the loveliest things about the show is seeing households who would never meet in real life, not only meeting but forming proper bonds of friendship.

“There are a few moments in the show that really do bring a tear to my eye because it’s just so genuine, so lovely and properly heartwarming.

“It’s such an odd word to describe a show like this, but it’s properly wholesome — there’s something about the bright colours, being out in the countryside, and the genuine bonds that you see created.”

People have shared their excitement for the new show on Instagram with one commenting: “Omgggg I can’t wait!!!!”

Another shared: “Ah it just looks so good!!”

Someone else said: “Can’t wait to watch the drama unfold!! 🙈🙈”
