What is Our House about?

Fi (Tuppence Middleton) is confronted with a mystery when one day she returns home to find a couple she has never met, claiming that they now own her house.

All of her personal belongings have been removed and the only person who may be able to help - her estranged husband Bram (Martin Compston) - is nowhere to be found.

Bewildered and confused, Fi has to delve into her past to find clues about what has happened.

The TV series is based on a book by the same name written by Louise Candlish in 2018.

Who stars in ITV’s Our House?

The show centres around Tuppence Middleton (The Imitation Game, Sense 8) who plays Fi and Martin Compston (Line of Duty, Doomsday) who plays Bram.

Their romance is not one to be envied as it is filled with deceit, mystery and lies.

Starring opposite them are Rupert Penry-Jones (Spooks, Match Point) as Toby and Buket Komer (Honour, Tin Luck) as his wife Wendy, the couple who bought the house from Fi.

Other notable actors are Bronagh Waugh (The Fall, Unforgotten) as Alison, Celinde Schoenmaker (Rocketman, Red Light ) as Saskia and Weruche Opia (Bad Education, Sliced) as Merle.

What happens in episode three?

The penultimate episode sees Fi continue her quest to find Bram with her friend, Merle.

Bram is still on the run after hitting an eight-year-old girl with his car.

Episode three takes viewers back in time with a dual plot line that helps to fill in some of the mystery in Fi’s past.

It also shows viewers that Toby and Wendy are planning an open house for Fi’s home despite the drama it is causing.

The final scene in the episode sees Fi turn on Toby after he reveals shocking information about an affair.

How does Our House end in episode four?

Fi finally discovers the truth behind the house sale in the final episode, whilst Bram is forced to come to terms with his actions.

She will learn that it was in fact her husband Bram who sold the house behind her back and even worse, her new boyfriend has been blackmailing the pair since the beginning.

Toby will be killed after his part in the deception comes to light - Fi laces a bottle of wine with sleeping pills which end his life.

There will be backstabbing, violence and many secrets spilled in the final episode.

Is the TV show the same as the book?

Largely yes, it is - the ITV show has made a few small tweaks but nothing that changed the plot massively.

A small change is that the child Bram runs over with his car is eight-years-old in the TV show but 10 years old in the book.

Another slight difference is the medium in which Bram confesses his crimes - in the book he writes Fi a letter but in the TV show he leaves her an audio recording.

But other than those small changes the TV show is true to Candlish’s novel.

The fourth and final instalment of Our House will air on ITV on Thursday 10 March at 9pm.

But the whole series is available to stream on ITV Hub now.
