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?

    • And from what I remember, she eventually cut the tea shop for a similar  reason to chandelier.  Chariot style buggies
    • Oh yes, it could have been about there, I can't remember exactly. At one point there seemed to be a load of pizza places opening on NCR. I vaguely remember the one we used to use was put out of business by another one which opened. Wasn't Grace and Favour's food offering more of a tea shop at the back of the actual shop? If memory serves the owner, whose name escapes me now, was one of the earliest people I know to move to Hastings. Which must now be crammed with South East Londoners 🤣
    • That Neal Street veggie cafe was great. Food For Thought ❤️
    • Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, You won't be aware that i proposed infill sites for housing in East Dulwich - the garages on Bassano Street and Henslowe that respectively became 1-4 Dill Terrace family houses and the 78, 80, 80A Henslowe Street family houses. These were council owned garages and it was frustrating how slow the council was to go from my idea to completion (roughly eight years). East Dulwich has some other vacant WW2 bomb sites I'm guessing that the private land owners have been sitting on.Owe for a land tax for vacant land.  WRT to the builders yard by East dulwich station. Southwark Council has an agreed policy the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum. But the approved scheme is 9 storeys of student accommodation. Very hard to put this genie back in the bottle. The council has recently publicly stated lower ratios of social housing will be required. I will be amazed if the developer doesn't submit another application now they have the 9 storeys approved but with significantly less social housing. The less social housing the higher the land values. The higher the land values the less social housing viability reports state are possible.  If we really want to increase home supply - Southwark have over 6,000 empty homes. Vancouver charges a low % of the value of empty homes and rapidly eased this problem. Parts of Wales have introduced under Article 4 planning permission is required for second homes seeing within 12 months a dramatic decrease in property prices. Southwark Council have Article 4 requirements - why not add this one? It takes National political will to solve this AND regional and local authorities such as the second home council tax premium and these being used promptly.
