Films / TV shot in Dulwich

[mockney piers]

Yes steve, apparently he is.

Not quite on the same lines, but there's an episode of Boogie Beebies that was filmed in Dulwich Park.

If you don't know what I'm on about, count yourself lucky.

Dear Ant,

You noticed that too? My pair love it. A classic.

[Ant]

It's hard to miss given the number of times each episode is aired.

My oldest is still too young to notice that having your local park on the telly is not normal. In her eyes, why wouldn't it be? It is THE park, after all.

Can you do, the kangaroo? Do do do, the kan-ga-roo...

[dulwichmum]

Sadly, it is the only dance I know.

Spa-ghetti ISSSSSS Messy!

Peas and Rice.......are very nice.

Ah well, better than having that blasted Balamory song stuck in your head all day long I suppose.

[Ant]

Did they all do the kangaroo in that club/bar/whatever in Kings?

[dulwichmum]

Regularly, you would be surprised!

Timothy Spall lives in Forest Hill, I am told.

His kid used to go to the same school as me, and he lived in Brockley. That was over 10 years ago though, so he could well have moved.

[dulwichmum]

Forgive me, who is Timothy Spall?

Timothy Spall was famously in 'Auf Wiedersen Pet' as Barry. He is a really successful actor - he's brilliant! 'Wormtail' in Harry Potter, he was Mr Poe in 'Lemony Snicket', but my fave was a really dreadful movie called 'Gothic' with Julian Sands ('Dr Polidori') - so bad it's good!

And Jo Brand is a real sweetie. See her in the Park and Sainsburys all the time - people are always bothering her and she has time for all of them.

Thanks for that Spymum,

I have googled Timothy Spall, so I see who you mean. Yes, Jo is a complete star.

I can't beleive that no one has mentioned the Clover butter advert filmed in Mundania/Therapia Road a couple of years ago complete with dancing cows..also changing Rooms filmed round Scutari Road somewhere as was Home Front in the Garden..... Madness of Modern Families currently on BBC2 was partly shot in various East Dulwich locations....Arctic monkeys in Peckham......some sitcom with Pauline Quirke, sorry can't remember name filmed a bit at top of Upland Road......

Slightly off-topic but I've seen Helen Lederer (80s comedienne with manic eyes - remember her?) and the ubiquitous (well, not so much lately) Linda Barker in the dire Fusion Gym in ED. This was about a year ago though.

[Guest]

The Dick Emery Show was often filmed in and around Dulwich, as the comedian lived on Barry Road for a long time with his partner, and died in Denmark Hill at Kings in the early 1980's

The once-ubiquitous Ms Barker loves about 6 doors from me

[Guest]

ummm..I meant "lives" not "loves" dammit

[Huguenot]

Bet you didn't ;-)

[Polly D]

Uh, does Linda Barker live in ED? I picked up some nice cutlery in Mrs Robinson the other day fancying it and then put it down quickly realizing it was 'designed by Linda Barker ...'. On the famous neighbour front, we live next door to Jerome Flynn!

[Guest]

Why would the fact that she designed it put you off given that you already though it was nice???? Thats a bit sad!

[Polly D]

I know, how mean of me, but she's everywhere.

Lederer is Posts corner in Brixton AFAIK. Hels doesnt get to the gym much nowadays, if you know what I mean

Um.Yes. See my previous message. However, as a good neighbour wild horses will not drag the name of the actual road from me - I never know when I might want to nip around to borrow a cup of money - but it's about a mile long and begins with "U"...
