The House Across the Street: is the suspicion-heavy Channel 5 drama based on a true story or a book? Kristen, Baldwin (January 26, 2022).

Retrieved January 31, 2022. When George fell into my lap, his innocence on the face of it [appealed to me]. He’s a lost soul, and George and Claudia come together as kindred spirits in a way. They meet each other, they find each other because they're both quite lost in very different ways,” he said. “I was drawn to human characters that are quite lost and broken.”

The lonely primary school nurse is recovering from double mastectomy, while struggling to maintain a meaningful relationship with her 12-year-old son. Then, when local girl Emily Winter goes missing, Claudia becomes fixated with the case, but her personal mission for the truth soon gets out of hand. From its title alone Channel 5’s The House Across The Street promises some serious suspense and as anyone who’s binge-watched their way through The Watcher will know, there’s nothing like a little suspicion to throw a neighborhood into chaos. This is certainly the case in The House Across The Street which stars Harry Potter actor Shirley Henderson as lonely single mother Claudia alongside Line of Duty’s Craig Parkinson as teacher George. When a local girl goes missing, Claudia gains a new sense of purpose and as her fixation with the case grows steadily more intense everyone becomes a suspect.The house across the street is questionable to Katy. What happens there with women coming and going? Another great book by Pearse. When there is a fire at the house across the road everything is not as it seems. The rest of the opener is a scene-by-scene precis of all that it aims to send up. Anna is falling apart. She drinks bottle after bottle of red wine, without ever appearing to be anything other than sober, bright-eyed and white-toothed. She’s addicted to pills. She hears bumps in the attic and spends most of her time obsessing over the handsome stranger and his nine-year-old daughter who have moved into the house across the street. It’s all so tonally flat that intentionally awful lines such as “There’s so many layers to casseroles. Just like there are so many layers to a person”, end up just being awful.

Lesley Pearse brilliantly captures the era . . . Emotional and moving, The House Across The Street is storytelling at its best, filled with characters you will care passionately about Anne Cater, Daily Express Bentley, Jean (January 27, 2022).

Things were so different then, and Lesley Pearse does a great job of subtling highlighting this. The different time period is also reflected in the way the characters deal with certain situations, and the fact that many of the characters feel a bit dampened down at times, where I expected them to react more strongly but they didn't. Katy, despite not being alive during WW2, certainly felt a little childish at times, but I think that was part of her innocent, eager personality. When things got really difficult, she certainly stepped up though! One night Katy is woken to find out that the house across the street is ablaze and this is where the story takes the reader along a journey of intrigue and unanswered questions. Was the fire an accident or was it something more sinister and who was responsible? Honestly? This was ruddy awful! I wanted to like it; the blurb sounded compelling. Who is the real Gloria? Why would someone kill her? Why would someone set Katy’s father up? How will she get him released and his name cleared?
