Hadn?t heard of this and just put it on in the background. Quickly became obsessed by bus continuity ( no buses in initial shots and then at about 15 mins in onward there are blurry background glimpses now and then). If they filmed it all in advance and are now having to add in the occasional bus so it seems to be more real time, that must be a right pain for them. (I used to flat with a guy who advised film crews on weather continuity, it ruined me for life).


Not going on my must watch list, but then I don?t watch TOWIE, MiC etc, def not the target audience!

I caught an interview on the BBC London news with two of the stars. Sounded interesting characters.


Thinking about Peckham, Only Fools and Horses wasn't representative. Desmonds was great. There was a programme ten or 15 years ago where posh young ladies spent time with Peckham locals, which was quite fun. I can't normally watch ITV2 so will give the new series a miss. What a snob eh.....


I don't know about Peckham of 40 years ago, and never watched the gnomes of Dulwich, or listened to the Penge Papers (from the 60s/80s)

Oh dear? that?s quite an old mindset not watching the other BBC channels as some kind of snobbery


I know it is, because I used to be the same. But stretch yourself, there?s some gems in there and in BBC3 even


The new music show with DJ Target, very good and current. It basically follows the Jools Holland template for a show. If it ain?t broke and all that ?


What?s the name of the the new Peckham show?

Watch BBC4 while you can - it is being cancelled and its output blended into BBC2, etc. (It does have a lot of repeats, I know, but they are of quality and in-depth programmes.) BBC3, once cast into the wilderness of the internet, is now back on as a standard TV channel so 4 has to go.

As for the new show, not my cuppa tea and I think the genre is starting to show its age on all channels and with all subjects. Something else will come along to replace it eventually. Big Brother and Sylvana Waters were the early examples of reality, all the way back into the late nineties for the latter so I can't see this type of show lasting much longer than '25.

How very dare you Seabag. I have been known to watch the other side (memories of when we only had two sides as our telly couldn't get BBC2). Tour de France is on ITV4 and you can have guilty pleasures of Midsomer Murders and the like on ITV4. I occasionally flick on to ITV2 at night to catch Family Guy - but after 20 odd years it is no longer a must see. I'm not sure about ITV (1), if I recall correct much of the cutting edge was lost when it became one company and Thames, Granada and the like became (often good) production companies. And I come from an age when Lew Grade and ATV/ITC ruled the air waves - Saint, Prisoner, Man in a Suitcase, Avengers, Gerry Anderson, Muppets etc etc (although looking back on Wiki one has to agree it seemed like many programmes were made for Birmingham Alabama not Birmingham England.


Shame about BBC4. Quality. Quite happy to access the trashier BBC3 programmes on I-player. Used to enjoy Channel 4 more for quality programmes but I don't know what happened to this channel. Did it go down market or have my tastes changed.


Like most got drawn into the early series of BB, and the Beeb did some good fly on the wall stuff such as Paddington Green. Listen more to Radio 4 now, but not really a convert.

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
