Just driven past, judging by the fleet of winnies parked up at their unit base it's definitely a feature with some cash behind it and their aren't too many of them filming on location in London at the moment, apart from the St Trinians remake.


Also the location signs all say 'STT Location' so I'd wager it is the crazy girls school caper. Gosh, you may glimpse Mssrs Everett, Fry, Firth and E.Grant, even Girls Aloud :-S and other such acting luminaries around Dulwich this week.

Found this about the St Trinians films on the "Independent" web site:-


"Meanwhile, the famous "gym-slip" uniform worn by pupils in both the Searle cartoons and later films was based on that of James Allen's Girls School in Dulwich, south London, an independent school where Searle sent his daughter, Kate."

"Richard E Grant "


What is the bloke for ?


Why isnt he "resting" more ? I would turn around and march home should I have to misfortune to arrive at the cinema and find that Richard E Grant was starring in a film I had tickets for . What a one duinemsional waste of space - he seems to crop up once a bleeding month on some minor chat show or other and invariably bleat on about his lastest straight to DVD rubbish project and then invariably regale us with tales of his childhood in African and amuse us with some Swahili speech.Very droll Mr Grant.


Just like Tony parsons whines on about what a great time he had in the '70s when he was at ( what he reckons was ) the cutting edge of journalism and that his dad was a paratrooper, Richard E Grant can be relied upon for a few minutes plug and filler somewhere or other.


Even Withnail & I - maybe the best thing hes ever done - is now about 45 years old - actually, can you think of anything else hes done since then ?


no, me neither.


bah.


This will be a rubbish filum. mark my words

Like George Lucas, I think you have to forgive REG on the basis that the world would be a slightly poorer place without the one thing he has given us. (no, not Argos)


Tony Parsons, on the other hand, really is a total arse. Every time I see him moaning away with his arm casually slung over the back of the interviewee sofa (usual on 'This Week') I just want to leap through the screen and pour hot tar over his genitals.

Why does THE CAMBERWELL CARROT scene always get all the limelight? I know it's a big spliff (tee-hee!) and therefore mildly amusing, but it's hardly the defining moment of a film with too many good bits to mention.


W&I is a one-off.. just great from start to finish.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By jazzer · Posted

      Simply, give us a snap election now as the last 12 months in office honestly have not been great in any sense. Let someone else have a go at turning around UK plc before it's too late. At least the last administration had the inflation and unemployment rates going in the right direction at the END.

      Yes but what's the answer, Jazzer? No government can simply walk in and fix the economy - get the bills down, grow it and reduce debt. There is no silver bullet. The public (and the press) wants everything now, everything cheaper, but with better public services and lower taxes.  In the radio and paper, all you ever hear is pundits, MPs, think tanks and economists saying what won't work, but no one seems to know what will work.  I'm genuinely interested to hear what other views people have on here, and what they think will help, or make things worse.

      While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude.

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.
