Deep Fake Neighbour Wars is a sketch show about neighbourly disputes, if some of the most famous stars all lived next door to one another. Using deepfake technology to create the video footage, it is voiced by impressionists.

The show sees actor Idris Elba upset when his new neighbour, reality star Kim Kardashian, starts causing a scene in their communal garden and footballer Harry Kane is unhappy when his patio is damaged by upstairs neighbour Stormzy.
