Ailing ITV reality TV game show The Neighbourhood (ITV1/Virgin One, final episodes today and tomorrow) was marketed as a big deal.
It had a big presenter, Graham Norton, and a big prize, £250,000 (€289,000). The overall production budget, while undisclosed, was big enough to pay for the construction of an elaborate cul-de-sac set comprising fully functional houses, pub and coffee shop.
