BAFTA Award winning TV Production company Love Productions (www.loveproductions.co.uk)are currently making a new prime-time series for ITV1 and are looking for London-based people who would like to talk to us about potentially taking part.


What?s the series?

In London, only 1 in 10 of us count our neighbours as friends and so we want to film with a number of households on one street over six weeks in the summer to find out more about the people that live there. We?d then like to offer those people the opportunity to gain an insight into each other?s lives and see whether this makes a difference to their relationships with each other.


As a result, the series will look at life at home today on a mixed street; we will get to know the people who are filming with us and see from different perspectives all the things that unite us: family relationships, work stresses and joys, conversations over the dinner table, what makes us happy and what makes us sad.


Please do get in touch with us if you would like to find out more ? there?s no obligation for anyone who calls to take part and talking to people is great for us so that we can shape the series as best we can according to conversations we?ve had.


Best wishes,

Charlotte

If you want to take part, take part. If you do not, do not. Let people be!! Bloody hell you guys?.you somehow fail to realise that others have different interests/personalities/beliefs and priorities to you! I would not take part in it either to be honest but I at least recognise that there are people who would be interested and see it as an interesting social experiment or allow them to get on the TV or have their own reasons for taking part, so fair enough for asking the question.

Interesting social experiment my arse - lazy voyeuristic fodder. I suppose you think Benefit Street was an interesting social document and Come Dine With me an in depth treatise on what a nation eats and how it relates over the pasta?


And RosieH? I'd rather they did something worth watching and not this shite.


Just an opinion though however much it pisses some people off.

Maxxi's right: yet another lazy researcher trying to find yet another voyeuristic angle which the viewer is encouraged to see as reality but is actually edited to make the sock puppets involved look like a commentary on 'Broken Britain'.

"...there are people who would be interested and see it as an interesting social experiment or allow them to get on the TV or have their own reasons for taking part"


that was my question. Is there anybody who can think of a reason other than "allow them to get on the TV"? I'm genuinely interested, and I'm sure plenty of the people sneering live their lives at least partly in public via social media etc, which I find equally incomprehensible. How did we arrive at a point where every experience is somehow more valid if it is public?

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
