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).

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
