Hello,


I'm looking for three pairs (couples, friends, housemates etc) of East Dulwich residents to help make a new television pilot and promote East Dulwich as a great place to live. As a resident of the area myself I'm keen to use East Dulwich as I know it's a fantastic place and I'd really like to show case it.


Each pair will be needed for around two and half hours next Thursday 17th March. We are unable to pay (apologies) and I am relying on peoples good will but I do promise to look after you. Making sure that you are kept stocked with tea, coffee and biscuits.


Any volunteers would be very much appreciated. If you're interested and would like to find out some further details, with no obligation, please PM me.


Many many thanks

If you only pay peanuts you'll only get monkeys!


What makes you think that any resident's will want ED 'showcased' thus encouraging more of the like's of you.


Shove off and take you video camera with you, until you find some deeper pockets.


Cheap-skate potless no-hopers.


Expecting people to work for free suggests you have a brass neck and a ruddy gaul.

I really don't understand why polite journalists and TV producers get so viciously attacked when they post perfectly reasonable and polite enquiries on the forum.


It brings out a particularly nasty streak in this forum.


I actually feel ashamed and embarrassed to affiliate with ED when it happens.

Huguenot it sounds as if you have sold your soul for tea and biscuits,


why should they not pay for peoples time like any other business would?


Everyone knows it can be an expensive indulgence to make a film,


but for those trying to do it on the cheap, smacks of doing it on the cheap at someone else's expense!


I am like Dulwichmum I can afford the best quality tea and biscuits money can buy........................from Iceland!

It's merely a Pavlovian manifestation of deep-seated self-loathing.

Drama queen alert.

Sure I can see that derbyean, and if you don't want tea and biscuits don't take up the offer.


However, there are people for whom being on TV and having a small part of their life and views documented and televised would be a fun way to spend a day. Why should they be prevented from or abused for doing so?


There are plenty of people who would pay a TV company to follow them around making a documentary.


Either way, I can't see any justiifcation for being rude to the researcher.


Same applies to the natmags thing - take the piss if it's a bit low rent, but rude?

But H you forget that some of the TV researchers/ producers that post on here are working on programmes with a budget and every one is being paid, apart from the people they seek. There is a difference though between asking someone to feature in a show as an intergral part of the documantary (that is never paid) and asking for someone to work on a show, be it even just in the capacity of a walk on/ extra (which should always be paid).


Just on a wider front, I think many people (certainly true for me) bemoan the demise of quality documentary, being increasingly replaced by cheap meaningless 'lifestyle' so called 'factual entertainment' (all the result of having to fill the schedules of the countless add on channels that hardly anyone watches).

It's not like they're being forced to march at gunpoint and perform in front of a camera on pain of death.


If some muppet wants to parade their interior decor / gastric band / thai bride in front of the general public in return for a Mellow Birds and a digestive then so be it.

I just don't see why East Dulwich needs to be promoted on TV as a great place to live above anywhere else, really.

I mean, it is a great place to live (or visit, as I do, from where I live Nunhead/Peckham Rye) because of many many reasons including local individual shops, the parks, the occasional friendliness (people can be incredibly rude no matter what background class or education) and helpfulness of the locals, and the general vibe, all difficult to show in a TV show. And how would that make interesting TV? It's a very 'So What' issue. Are we / the programme makers encouraging more people to come live here by having such a TV show, which would change its culture and put the property prices up even more, or are we just showing how nice it is to live here for its own sake. Are the programme makers about to make a series of 'nice places to live' in other parts of London / the South East / England / UK in general, or just a one off about here? No one or even three 'couples' can really be a complete represenation of East Dulwich folk, because there are many different types of people who live here, not just three, and the choice will be the programme makers' and not chosen by East Dulwich people to choose to represent all of them.


However, I would also say I think it is wrong for people not to be paid a professional going rate, when being expected to give of their time and theirselves in a commercial venture, ie a television show.


So there.

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
