Films / TV shot in Dulwich

[Polly D]

Yeah but I couldn't be sure that you lived in ED but if you didn't you wouldn't be here so soz about that. Anyway, sounds like we might be on the same road. Linda and Jerome in one street ...

Timonthy Spall regularly dines at the Palmerston where he doesn't seem to get bothered by anyone. And the Wishing Well Inn on Bellenden Road was a key location for the film 'Last Orders'.

I just think he is so COOL!

I once saw Terry Jones in Le Chardon a few years back and then I nearly ran over him by Cheners bookstore a few years ago. (Not my fault!! He was jaywalking!). I love the Pythons, and resolved that if he was ever at the end of my car bonnet again I'd flash him to get his attention (a la Denise Van Outen) but he decamped to North London! Someone must have warned him of my plan to get the 'girls' out!

indeed, Maria Lawson's debut video was recently filmed in the EDT. Watch it at:

You can see Cafe Nero and the Number 37 bus!

It is funny to see how some people get excited by the view of Cafe Nero and a Bus.... Maybe they've never left the area.

Just had a look at that tomM, many no. 37s trundled past but the most disturbing thing - and going off subject here - was this post by a fan:

Dear Ms Polly Dorner,

I wonder if you could enlighten me. I am relatively new to all of this wonderful technical jargon - does 'lol' mean 'lots of love' or 'laughing out loud'? My husband James has not come home from the rugby yet, and has sent me a text. I am not sure if he is in trouble with me......

Linda Barker lives on Underhill Road, you can spot her house(s) a mile off. Perhaps she made off with a job lot of cream paint from the set of one of her make-over shows.

[tomM]

lol = laugh out loud

Acvtually watching the video again, that could be one of the new style 185's..

[dulwichmum]

Dear tomM,

Thanks for that. I thought as much, pah!

Does James Nesbitt still live on Melbourne Grove?

[spymum]

Playground rumour has it that he decamped to a very, very expensive street in Herne Hill - lucky thing!! (Actually luck has nothing to do with it, and hard graft has everything to do with it. That's what my old ma would say, anyway.)

I read an article last year that had an interview with James Nesbitt (maybe it was even London South) and he specifically said that he relocated to Herne Hill a few years ago, but still liked to visit and eat out in ED, as he still has some friends here.

[Huguenot]

I can vouch that that smug get does indeed still drink at the Bishop.

[dulwichmum]

Mr Nesbit lives in Elfindale Road now I believe. He has a face that needs a good slap!

[Ant]

If you let me know when you plan to do it I'll make sure to be there with a camera. :)

[Guest]

Perhaps 'Jimmy' would agree to have his face slapped in aid of Comic Relief?

Say, ?5 per slap - plus another fiver if it leaves a mark.

[Ant]

Last time I saw him (on the telly) he'd grown a rather large beard. So, to tell whether your slap left a mark or not you'd first have to shave him. But that could also be sponsored.

[mockney piers]

Indeed he chatted up the gf in the Bishop one time, though in fairness I think it was six-of-one-half-a-dozen-of-the-other.

[Keef]

God I'm taking out a loan........ Like the camera idea, we can get loads of teenagers to come with their phones for a sponsored Happy Slapping! >:D

[dulwichmum]

I could hit him with a stick as well if that is any good. I am always willing to do my bit for charity!

[Huguenot]

Can I pee in his shoes?

[Polly D]

Mockney - you should have sung him that annoying ditty he sings in one of Yellow Pages' ads - "Life is fine, life is good ... I've got a girl and no-one likes you" tra la laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[nutty]

Feel the need to say I quite like Mr Nesbitt (as an actor anyhow - never met him). Just thought a bit of balance is always good in threads :)

[mockney piers]

in all fairness I've nothing against the guy despite the aforementioned incident, and despite a few irksome ads and cold feet, his stuff is pretty good. Bloody Sunday (greengrass' precursor to the thankfully ungungho united 93) was excellent.

[spymum]

Polly, that is sooo funny! And yeah, he's all right - good actor and all that. I must confess like his eyebrows!
