ITV’s brand-new thriller Our House starts tonight (7th March), and it’s set to be a tense, wild ride.
The four-part series stars Downton Abbey’s Tuppence Middleton as Fi, a woman who comes home one day to find all of her possessions gone and strangers moving into her house, despite her insistence the property was not for sale.
Things go from bad to worse when Fi is unable to contact her estranged husband Bram, played by Line of Duty’s Martin Compston, or locate her missing children.
Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com, Compston called the series “a relationship drama” at its heart and teased that “it just goes wild… it goes to places you really don’t expect”.
