from http:\/\/coopepys.wordpress.com\/ a new TV series about Deptford on BBC:<\/p>\n
June 24th, 2007 by coopepys<\/p>\n
The first of an eight part documentary will be shown tomorrow night Monday 25th that follows the lives of some residents of the Pepys Estate. It will be interesting to see the final product from the BBC having seen them operate on the estate over the last few years. It seems from the title that they have found their \u2019story\u2019 as it was unclear to many of the people in the film exactly what it was about whilst it was being made. The producers that I talked to a couple of year ago claimed it would be an \u2018educational\u2019 film and couldn\u2019t give any information about what the target audience would be or what channel or time slot they were aiming at. I guess this they said this so as not to try and scare residents away from them. Having talked to one of the participants Cherry yesterday I know that none of the participants have seen the episodes and signed forms waiving all rights before filming began. She was told by phone that she would be in episode 6 and that it would be \u2018upsetting\u2019 but she is looking forward to it very much. There are some links to reviews of the first episode distributed to journalists below;<\/p>\n
http:\/\/forums.digiguide.com\/topic.asp?id=20847<\/a> One thing is certain, that the profile of the Pepys Estate for better or worse is going to shoot up in the next few weeks. Maybe we might even see some of the 11 million pounds that Lewisham Council sold the tower for come back onto the estate.<\/p>\n If anyone sees reviews or discussion of the program please add any links as posts in this section.<\/p>\n AF<\/p>\n
