When an Auld Acquaintance turns up at a remote island party, Millie’s left unsettled and there’s more mystery and drama to come in Sofia Slater’s tense debut. Kia Abdullah’s Those People Next Door is a gripping thriller about nightmare neighbours that explores the loss of innocence and how far we’re prepared to go to defend ourselves and the people we love.
Chaired by Alex Clark.
