The Neighbourhood is a sitcom pilot by James Hendrie and Ian Brown.

Only one man stands between the residents of Belmont Road and lawlessness, disorder and their sanity. Ex-policeman, Ed Halliwell (Simon Day), is a man with time on his hands. He's been on indefinite sick leave since being injured in the line of duty (he pulled a muscle lifting a tray of pasties at a cycling proficiency event). A man in search of a role, he spends more time meddling with his neighbours' lives than he devotes to his wife and kids. Despite the chaos he unleashes, Ed manages to bring together three disparate households, who have nothing in common but their postcode, in unity - against Ed Halliwell.

The Neighbourhood is Tiger Aspect production. Executive Producer: Ben Cavey. Director: Martin Dennis. Producer: Margot Gavan Duffy.
