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).

    • Loki hasn’t been seen since Sunday. He’s all grey but if you look closely he has faint stripes on the top of his tail. No pedigree, just very much loved. About 4 years old. No collar, but chipped.  please keep an eye out for him. We live on Barry Road SE22
    • I went in here the other day. The fruit is all really good - ripe and fresh. They also sell good bread (and croissants and pastries) from a independent bakery, the name of which I've forgotten. 🤦 The prices (which are marked) are not cheap but they are fair imo. Comparable to the specialist fruit shop on Lordship Lane (Brothers?) for really good quality. It's similar prices to Simply Fresh - but Simply Fresh's fruit and veg is very poor. Beaten about and tasteless. Sainsbury's is certainly cheaper. IMVHO they're a good addition to the Dulwich Village "retail offer".
    • Went actually for the first time yesterday. Terrific food, so was well pleased. Agree with previous poster to support.
    • Hi!! Moving house soon so looking for some cardboard boxes. Anyone know of any shops or cafes that may be giving some away?
