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.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • 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.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • 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.
