Martin Compston issues Our House warning as first episode of ITV drama airs

ITV's new drama Our House has officially landed and viewers are already hooked.

The four-part series is an adaptation of the international best-selling book by Louise Candlish, which won Crime and Thriller Book of the Year at the 2019 British Book Awards.

It follows estranged husband and wife Fi and Bram Lawson, played by Downton Abbey's Tuppence Middleton and Line of Duty star Martin Compston. You can read more about the cast for Our House here.

The drama sees Fi arriving home one day to find removal men on her doorstep and strangers moving into her beloved house. Fi believes there's been a huge mistake and insists her home isn't for sale.

As events unfold, viewers will see Fi's panic rising as she can't reach estranged husband, Bram, or her two missing children.

And ahead of the first episode, which aired on Monday, March 7, Martin issued a warning to all those tuning in.

Following the news that the series would air over four consecutive nights this week, Martin explained it was best to get the "stress" over with hinting at the twists and turns to come.

"Our House starts tonight on @ITV 1 @9PM 4 episodes across the next 4 nights," he told his Twitter followers. "Probably best to get over in a week with the stress that's coming."

After watching the first instalment, one viewer responded: "Read the book, loved the first episode. Telly perfection!"

While another added: "Absolutely brilliant intro episode. Looking forward to the next episode."

And a third commented: "Is everything you touch TV Gold .. yes ... just brilliant what an amazing start to this thriller. Well done."

Like Martin, ITV has described the drama as a "tense, compelling thriller about the disintegration of a modern marriage and a property obsessed society gone awry".

Our House continues Tuesday, March 8 at 9pm on ITV.
