I'm not really one for bigging up TV(unless its The Wire) but I do like good well observed comedy and thats exactly what Pulling has been. At last a sitcom written for women by women that is sharp, well observed and at times painful to watch. The characters are beautifully drawn and all too believable and manage to make the age old theme of The Quest for Love and acceptance delightfully fresh. These ladies are almost frighteningly dysfunctional, vain and desperate....and did I mention that it was very, very funny? Try and catch it on Iplayer or something. It deserves a bigger audience.

'It's not my fault that the only thing that loves me is bleeding from its anus!' - if you've missed anything there's always the BBC i-player, and pulling does pee from a great height over the over hyped dross that is gavin and stacey. I find that bug eyed gavin a little creepy. I think one episode was filmed in the deceased Tulip cafe on LL, just to keep it ED specific. Looking forward to the equally perverse Peep Show on friday.........

LOL that was a funny episode!


I dipped in and out of the first series but this series i've managed to watched every episode. Paul Kaye is brilliant I hope he's is in the next series. It makes me cringe and laugh all at the same time.

    • Yes, the Council's scheme for Peckham Rye station square is going ahead and is welcomed. However, the major project for the rebuilding of the station itself to provide improved accessibility has not received government funding and is being 'paused'. There seems little prospect of that scheme now going ahead in the current Parliament. This is regrettable as it is one of the busiest stations on the network outside central London. 
    • A  description limited to just " white, 50s, male" would be equally useless in identifying anybody, because it could apply to so many people. What point are you trying to make? And I didn't "jump down the OP's throat." The way the thread has developed is how threads work. Different people have different views on things. And the point about media references to migrants and single mothers was relevant to the discussion.
    • What would be the point of that?  It may work in a  USA style mall where there’s maybe a single point of entry and armed security people.  But here financially, it wouldn’t work. 
    • I think there's a similar square-type thing around Queens Road Peckham, which has stayed in pretty good nick. It was certainly a vast improvement.  Having said that, it would be terribly sad if small businesses suffer in the process. I love the fruit 'n' veg stalls & shops on Rye Lane, and the atmosphere in general atmosphere and very much hope that a new station square and the stalls aren't mutually exclusive.
