charlotte armstrong Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 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.

DaveR Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I don't want to hijack this thread, but a genuine query - why on earth would anyone want to do this? What possible benefit could you gain from it? If you want to meet your neighbours, how would having a TV crew present possibly help?

Earl Aelfheah Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Do you remember 'The Word' had a section called "I'll do anything to get on TV"? That.

maxxi Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I don't want to hijack this thread either but are there ANY lazy-arsed tv researchers out there who DON'T just post on a fecking forum to trawl for gullible victims for their latest gorm-fest?

JimH Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 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.

RosieH Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Exactly.And maxxi, what would you rather they did? old school model of just asking around their coworkers, friends and family?

maxxi Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 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.

newboots Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Wasn't there a rather good film made about Camberwell Grove not so long ago? I think the film maker was a resident. It was much admired, and discussed on this here Forum.

???? Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 yup. But it was about the changing nature of the areas over time - and had several others (notting Hill, Bermondsey, Hornsey). Not a fly on the wall voyuer thing.

Robert Poste's Child Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 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'.

DaveR Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 "...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?

Earl Aelfheah Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I think it's fair enough using a forum like this to recruit participants. How's it lazy?Also, DaveR 's question is a fair one. It is just a question after all. This is a forum - people converse innit.
