In London, it’s said, only 1 in 10 of us count our neighbours as friends. Love Productions are planning a new prime-time series for ITV1 to explore how true this is. They want to film with a number of households in one east London neighbourhood over the summer and are looking for people who might be interested in taking part.
“We’re currently making a new prime-time series for ITV1 and are looking for people who would like to talk to us about potentially taking part. I am contacting a number of community groups and organisations across East London to spread the word about this series.
We want to film with a number of households in one neighbourhood over 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 in a diverse neighbourhood; 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. We’re quite keen to engage with the local community so 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.”
