Has anybody else seen the Dr Graeme Garden lookalike walking his labradoodle in Dulwich park? He looks exactly like him except he has olive skin and darker hair. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw him and immediately went up to him and said he could make a bit of extra money in the lookalike business as a Dr Graeme Garden. The man didn't even seem to know who Dr Graeme Garden was, in fact I think he was French from his accent. There wasn't even any reaction when I mentiond The Goodies!

Having a Doppelg?nger.. I had one while I was at uni, it was terrible, friends would go on abt how rude i was because i ignored them when i passed them in the streets etc. It happened many times & sadly i never got to meet him, we could have ruled the world together :(

I bumped into 'Dr Graeme Garden' again at around 11pm last night as he was leaving one of those new restaurants opposite the Rye. As chance had it I had an old copy of Radio Times with the famous I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue cover and pointed out his face sake. Turns out our Dr Graeme Garden lookalike is a heart surgeon at King's College Hospital called Henri who is originally for Lyon in France. We briefly talked about Dr Graeme Garden (Henri did not know much about him at all, but did recollect the radio 4 gameshow on prompting) and I did mention again that he could make some extra money for the retirement fund from the lookalike business. If anybody else spots him remember to point out his uncanny likeness to Dr Graeme Garden (albeit with darker skin and hair) and maybe we could have another tick on the showbiz roster in East Dulwich!

Hey, Cocksedge,


Do you know if he plays Petanque? Perhaps he prefers 'Boule Lyonnaise'.

(ugh. the mere mention leaves a bad taste in one's mouth).

Bryan, how do you pronounce your second name?


Is it Cock - Sedge?

Or is it Cocks - Edge?

Or maybe, since you freely admit to walking around with an old copy of the Radio Times, surely a sign that you're a regular on the Dulwich Supper circuit, is it Co - Sedge, like that port advert that comes out every Christmas?..

Possibly a porter who has visions of grandeur as it seems unlikely that someone of such high esteem would volunteer such high profile information.. of course it may have been the real Doctor Garden living out his fantasy... perhaps time to check the storyline in your latest copy of the Radio Times!?

Perhaps you have a split personality and no Doppelgaenger at all. Have you considered this possibility?

Hi I'm from Sydenham .. I'm just passing through .. and stumbled across this interesting thread. Thought I'd contribute.


Ironically there's a tramp (sorry .. forgot this was the posh, P.C. East Dulwich forum: homeless person/residentially challenged person) down our highstreet in Sydders and he's a dead spit for Willie Rushton. Maybe we can get a 'Sorry I Haven't a Clue' tribute group going made up of random south east London look-a-likes.

      Promo counter/ trade-show stand wanted for community art project.

      By Lillo · Posted

      A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.

      Electrician (Highly recommended) - James Seth

      By AlanMBarr · Posted

      I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By David Peckham · Posted

      Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
