I hated that TV show about photographers which is a sort of reality TV Click Factor type show to find photographers and eliminate people and humiliate people.

I just wanted to see the photographs! All the nonsense spouted by the judges was dreadful.

I agree the format is pretty naff but if you look beyond it I think it's interesting. I only caught the last half so I'll reserve full judgement till next week. I've noticed an increase in photo related TV programming lately (documentarys, historical, biographical) so maybe it's just part of that trend. It'll be PhotoFactor and Come Clicking next!

Martin Parr (one of the judges) was another reason why I got into photography, I accidentally stumbled upon an exhibition of his at the Reina Sofia modern art museum in Madrid and was blown away by what photography could portray and make you feel.

He may not be to everyone's taste but he thinks a lot about what he does and how he does it, so you can't dismiss him out of hand.

The programme format, and I don't doubt, the editing lend itself to an unsatisfactory experience however. Personally I'd have been happier with a South Bank Show on Mr Parr, but that's just me.

and that's coming from the chap who was another "bigger boat" *sniggers* Just love the way the fella in the Kayak has clocked the shark over his shoulder.


Sharks scare the cr@p out of me, yet I find them fascinating and would love to see one like that. (Although, I'd prefer not to be on a kayak).

    • These are the smokeless fuels you can burn on a open fireplace in Southwark: https://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/fuels-php/england/ https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/environment/air-quality/reduce-air-pollution/reduce-smoke
    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
    • We found a recommendation for Geek Electrics on a here after we wanted to have a electrical inspection of a property we are buying. From the very beginning through to the end Bob was responsive, helpful and demonstrated his knowledge. He has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. We will defiantly be using Bob again and would thoroughly recommend him! His details are... www.geekelectrics.co.uk 07453 407 226 [email protected]
