There's a likelihood that they will get caught so I think generally what we'd like to see is more coaching cars or indeed in London more cops on bikes not not just sharing these campaigns but throughout the years so that the tearing factor is always there at the back of drivers minds and pays a calling on the government to stop when to feel payments for better off pensioners I'm a direct the money to help older people at risk of malnutrition the old policy Parliamentary Group on hunger recommends the funding be spent on lunch clubs and Meals on Wheels services Dr Simon Gabe says he sees many older patients suffering from conditions linked to the issue if you go around the hospital you will see that 30 percent of patients one in 3 patients are malnourished or at risk of all malnutrition they've lost a lot of weight and all of those patients have got complications that then develop I know the perception is that as we age it's normal to get to get seen but we've got to change that perception because it's truly not it's not necessary a survey found that up to a 3rd of young women in the u.k.

Radio London is 3 minutes past 10 everything is a tradition at midnight. Only using. These long term ships in the form of sound the focus of a speech is the toughest are you looking forward to a city full of course politics this is b.b.c. Radio logs or robust albums. Good morning London I'm Robert Elms. Well that was a bit of a washout of a weekend when it. Absolutely rubbish. And then it rang and. That was my weekend in the not joking. And keep our rubbish it running then there was no b r. So as they say in the song Things Can Only Get Better. I thought it was a good episode of Call the Midwife. If there was anything to salvage that weekend. But now we just get on with the working we can are working week always begins with a list in London. And today it's Daisy gillie. Co-founder of the London Film Academy. And this is a film academy for the females. There also launching the l.f. Phase pioneers award. Which is a full scholarship for a promising female filmmaker. So that could be you. Got a promise in film I could but he's not female Ben whole money is coming in and he's short film The Good Fight. In Brazil and it's part of Brazil King's College Why is King's College open a Brazil we all have in the Brazilian. Brazilian army but he's coming in to tell us about his movie. And then. Is coming and she's an author and historian and she's going to be looking at the life from work of the wonderful Mary Shelley. 200 years of. And then finally we've got a really good singer a really good song. He's called. Anyone. A musical career ahead of them. Is not an omen brother but he is an omen Brown. And he's coming into play live for us. Today. To repeat and we it's a right I'm. Playing live. Louis' role on Mary Shelley and 2 centuries of Frankenstein and his monster. Ben home and on his film The Good Fight which is part of Brazil week at King's College. And so can a film. Founder of the London Film Academy. It was a rubbish weekend so you can have a great week that's why I reckon. And this track what I love so much. Is called nothing but the truth. And it's. Bad for your teeth but. You want to. Send. Texts tweet. Please feel free to do so the phone number is 704-2000. You can text. Message with the word London. And you can tweet content. There on the. Paolo Nutini and then out saying. I'm an e-mail from Cliff he said I saw the great job Browning concert last night at the Orchard in dog food brilliant show from a brilliant guitarist and storyteller great live music and then he goes on to say cheers robot because we had Joe on the show of course on Friday I think it was Friday or maybe Thursday Thursday Joe came on and told us about his gigs coming up I'm trying to settle song which was fantastic and he is just I mean you know if anybody deserves national treasure status it's Joe Brown of that I have no doubt certainly luck coming up London traces That's an interesting concept if we can have a national treasures for the entire nation which is fair enough Could we have specifically London treasures a modern Joe Brown definitely counts as one of them char Brown and his brother's bass just Jodi's days it's actually Joe and his little ukulele. And he's a he's a London treasure that is no doubt if you get a chance to see him live and he's a fantastic musician I mean a really really excellent musician and I think it constitutes a London treasure if you have any anyone to suggest there's a London treasure there specifically hours other people can enjoy them of course this is not denying them national and even international success is just saying that they'd particularly dear to us in this town of those who would count as a London treasure as opposed to an a capital treasure that's what we should call them they are a capital treasure Who would you suggest who would you nominate for capital treasure who'd just nominated Joe Brown I think undoubtedly deserves an award and I'm sure there's plenty of others but I'd like them to come from you so you can text you can tweet you can email you can phone up and you can open it people to be a capital treasure. They go often as a very good thing. And And that was Ok books a movie getting some some suggestions of great capital treasures chosen dive definitely says Mike and I think you're absolutely right they're in the same mold as you John Brown you see their musical treasures so pizza Blake says Mike he said I had an hour in the inspiring company uses a period like last week more than a treasure a capital diamond Visa says might or would have to have ecologists that diamond visas because that excludes some of the ladies we have to have capital ladies as well as capital so keep them coming but I'm definitely putting downs a bit like as one of allergies definitely a national treasure and more importantly a capital treasure he's a Londoner and we treasure him indeed and I'm about to introduce a listed London Eye which about as close as we can get to be starting in a ward of on somebody and it means they've done a service to our city mom way or another and we've listed them which means you can't mess about with their frontage you certainly can't knock them down who would want to knock down the. There is a gill is it Gilly it's Gili Julie c I didn't know who could tell they see Julie you mean you don't have Kaplan Ruth I don't have cattle and I did live in Barcelona and lost because I had to read you've got to like you and I love you already. So. This we go oh yeah Ok well up with. Us a good bit of it and you've got cattle and roots but you're very much alone there and you're co-founder of the London Film Academy tell us more well. One of the joint principals myself and animate Donald set up the London Film Academy about 15 years ago and we very much wanted a practical film training establishment preferably one we'd like to go into but that is not to be and we really wanted it to be very focused that have working professionals and be a bridge to the industry and I think we're really proud of the multiple multi-disciplinary approach because it's that coupled with working professionals I think has been our greatest success at getting sort of a 95 percent of our graduates working within 3 months of leaving and this is also specifically female centric not at all No although that's what I've been told. I think we're the only film school set up and run by women right I will that kind of is a guess but I think one of the reasons why the timing like the pioneers award that came out came about this year is because we've seen we want to do our bit to kind of inspire women because there are enough there aren't enough and if you look at the back to nominations not a single woman has been nominated for best director from the top of editor so it's a question of where are those and also I think I don't I don't really believe in oh how terrible it's women cause it's not and I think women are really starting to achieve and if I look around my peers today they're starting to come up but we do see more male applications we often have more male students and we want to do something that would really support and inspire a new generation of women what does it take to get women more involved is it. Self belief is it yes so so therefore to some sense you're putting the onus on the women yes well you have to get I think it I mean if you Baroness kid runs past news supported this 1st award and we have deliberately called it pioneers award because although the focus is women right now it may not be in the future and we don't want to restrict it to just that but she said sometimes you need a bit of luck and I think I think you always need your luck and I think this is this is an amazing opportunity it's worth 23000 pounds so they get a fully funded place and it means that hopefully they will so fit believe in themselves and I think I think it's that confidence from my experience of working with our female students they often one to prove themselves before they talk about it and I think it's just changing that mindset they can achieve and I think Think positive role models in the industry would help is it also that the image of the film director and and the film camera man and and the grip and you know has been a fairly kind of muscular one Yeah that's a very interesting one actually because you know scimitar graffiti is their physical Yeah those cut on they're less heavy than my work but it's still a big thing so interestedly heavy weight often comes in the in the lens if you're using proper glass and if you're using a proper quality lens it's glass so that's where the weight comes in so even if the body itself is not particularly heavy Well sometimes the weight of the camera allows you to be a little bit more steady so we shoot film 16 film still clinging on to it as long as we can which is actually help some of our graduates because you know Star Wars they're going to work on Star Wars and things like that. But I think it's a great training tool because you get to you have to really think before you shoot because you can't just continuously roll you have to prepare and you know you have to send off and wait for it to be returned Is there an industry for people to graduate into oh my God there's such an industry Well there's an industry but is there is there a structure. That structure is like all instantly get filmmakers on this program whether they're producers of directors or writers you lot are yet there are just so frustrated because the British film industry is similar time you see fantastic and wonderful and doesn't exist correct. I think you summed it up beautifully but I also I think ultimately I suppose in a way what we're teaching is storytelling and that could be used across many different platforms really because you know marketing lead storytelling that. I think people who are doing corporates also want to a level of storytelling they don't they want it to be less dry than they used to be and I think there are more opportunities the television there's more opportunity through the Web people are consuming more through the Web feature films are good but they are quite expensive to produce and they don't necessary have the same levels of distribution or budgets in the end is it about I mean you mention storytelling because you know I I know people who want to make films or people who want to write books and in the end I say is the story that comes 1st you've got to have something to say now how you say it is down to your individual skill and all of that sort of but it's having something to say that must come 1st mustn't I quite agree and when we're doing the pitching panel of my huffed and our 1st question is So what's the story really a bat now what happened what's the story about what's the message you're trying to give and I think that that's where in a way we're fortunate to be working with a pace graduate level. Not to exclude sometimes some undergraduates because they're some of the most talented but generally that thought process and that experience of life well they're interesting enough the older you get the more scared you get sometimes you couple older people younger people the younger more fearless they are people more experienced and together they come together and you know creates an amazing films is it also fair to say that just as we don't have enough women making films and we don't we don't have enough black people people disabled people you know minor is of all kinds from. Yes. And which is again why why in a way trying to get some like the pioneers award that could we hope to have many more and the focus on this one is is a woman but that there are other sectors that also could be supported and encouraged and inspired I think it's bent on who where we might get funding from in the future is also I suspect sadly increasingly true that the for the film industry in its broadest sense is is a very I guess it's probably always been a middle class industry but there seem to be that period certainly in the sixty's and seventy's when there were lots of working class actors coming through and writers and directors and stories and all of that we seem to have slightly stopped doing that. We have but it may be lost of education in general education is is expensive and also quite often early work placements all intensions through often unpaid Yeah we have a graduate who is head of development quite a big studio and I think it's his passion is to try and encourage the studio to to do paid internships for that reason is you know they're not exclude people who can just financially support and serve because it is very difficult isn't it I mean I don't know where the internship concept came from it was said it wasn't around when I was young but the intention is almost quite necessary now because you don't have assistance in the same way in life it's just a way of cutting cost you would have paid people to do that with. It's a difficult one because actually you can in a way you get a lot of training as an in 10. So it's a kind of a quid pro quo sometimes it's a good it depends on what skills that you have going into it I think. Some people take advantage and for some people it's a make or break between the match the findings the nation what they're getting enough skills that they can really be useful to somebody. We've worked with in terms of ourself and in terms of and they do vary between somebody where you spend almost half the time training them and it takes several months prove that she useful I mean they're always useful to know exactly what you mean tell us a bit more about the other 5 pioneers what in terms of how can people apply what is it what was the mechanics Ok well the most important thing is the deadline fast approaching rest of February you need to get your initial expression of interest in but I got be female this time Interesting you do have to be female and we have received applications from men and we have delicately pointed out that perhaps they do need to think about their gender when they're applying for this. But yes you have to be female you have to be over the age of 18 Yeah it is a graduate level course so we are looking for somebody if they don't have a formal degree before that they have some work to prove themselves and there is no age there's no operator's direction that they have to the deadlines the 1st of February they have 2 weeks after that to to get in there supporting materials and then the course itself will start in May and then the selection process will take place in temporary how. Hands on is was a very theoretical groceries are very hands on cost how does it come in because like so divided you very much so we have extremely practical and I think our belief is the way you learn is to by doing yeah and redoing so they will make sort of $4050.00 films at the time what with us that make film after film after film they have 3 formal periods of filmmaking Come on Mike Alfie place a taxi driver. Well it's a taxi driver it's a very interesting film because the budget wasn't huge and the way they made it looks at Epic is by having taxis just circle and doing that sort of that day they spent money on the big shots the shots of all of New York but a lot of it's actually quite quiet and not very expensive so it's quite a good good example of if you want to make a film that big you could maybe spend a day or 2 doing small money shots and then the rest of the time there is. Exactly . What we good at in this country in terms of film what I think we have a brilliant storytelling. And storytelling is I think what makes this brilliant across well also in a way out isn't there a danger that we retreat into our log or of the of. The. Film set in the past in nice clothing or we do films of manners or we do just you I'm trying to say we're very fond of a period drama we're very fond of. Right and wrong come say no and no I think just to distribute it with a very fond of disrupting period drama so that's often where the money to be made is but then if you look at some of the t.v. That's coming out you know anything from catastrophe to line of duty you know this and mazing t.v. And it but I watched. It last week because laughter is best for the 8 and season but I've got 20 more films to watch before the end of the of acting and I and what Hugh my way through it I've got. The techa one tomorrow. But later bad for a contemporary I should not like contemporary Story Lesson 70. Is not the period it's a constant job of these days they've got me going my way so this is just your job and so that. My favorite thing is when the students pitch period dramas I'm like Do they really need to be set because it's going to cost you a lot more money. Only need that you're listening to are listed under the z. Julian will be finding out her outs as to the famous 15 questions but 1st up it's just approaching 1030 here on the road show on b.b.c.

Radio London the small travel just before 11. This is London I'm live in London worked in London you know how it's in. The. City Here comes to. You know going to us again see this is where we live this is a. Home. Wrecker and you see use it but everything for me revolves around the city of London this is London. The radio. And this is. Julie she's co-founder of the London Film Academy and one of the people behind the pioneers award and we've been hearing more about that and now we're going to hear more about her city what would you say is your favorite neighborhood. Well I think I've come to eventually completion Maryla been I had the good fortune to live in a very cheap and grotty flat. Rusty near Baker Street that's a good place to live good and I see a window shopping in Marin and I just really love the air and particularly the Georgian has this but there's long windows I just used to slightly dream that I would be a beautiful place to live I think it's certainly got much more Shishi than it was I mean I can remember a time back in the in eighty's when if you fired a bazooka on a Saturday afternoon you wouldn't hit anybody but it's got it's got much more kind of busy and she she hasn't it I think it's fair to say that I haven't lived in that area for a while. But it has changed an awful lot it has changed but I think everything's changed yet Chelsea's jet everywhere changed what you'll see unfortunately it's become Brianna Dion and it wasn't I mean it was a fantastic Well I had so I was born and I feel great all 3 of my godmother's lived on I filtered or around the corner one of them with a jewelry designer the other one husband Catherine art gallery. Kathman and he who had discovered Hockney and then the other one was an artist could you get a filmmaker yet because someone just said to me there's He's dead said he died far too young. My one of the great London documentary films to the old saying now you spoil my I want my own film. Was also about your favorite movie so my favorite building and this is a favorite of myself and my joint principal Anna McDonald right so this joint effort well we both love it we were discussing this before I came on on air today and we do things together it's quite different strange not having him next to me so Albert Bridge which is around the corner from London Film Academy we just it's like this beautiful piece of magic it's Muffy to fairy lights and my mother used to tell me that fairy princess is used to live at the top of the tiles I believe it was and is just you see it from miles away and it's just it's just a piece of it just it's a happy a happy feeling when there's a Pogues song about looking. Albert Bridge which is very very beautiful environments you can it is what I like about I like chemistry Bridges Well I have to say I'm fond of both of those but I would bridge does have a certain ethereal quality I cycle and I'm a smith bridge with my 2 children and my trailer every day you start all over it and I know I just Kondraty. Over it but it's varying shades of green it is yeah it's the looking a little bit so I put you down as a bridge is your favorite building structure up and building strokes. The building is it's an idea built it's a building it's part of the bill environment but I'll give you that. What about the other end of the spectrum a building you really don't like you know what a little bit more tricky partly because I don't like buildings that have featureless right and therefore often the ones that are really bad don't have a name or aren't known is that like neither here nor there I think one particular month trustee is the Horse Guards building on the edge of Hyde Park. And what the barracks were meant to like well you can have it like you I think it's proportion is too big I think it's both a few. And I just yeah it's not a fan but generally it's those buildings that are built with that have no features one thing both my parents taught me to look up and there was me doing ways look up in London you see the most amazing things above street level you like they are given to you and have a suite do you I do quite like it it's a kind of lumbering monstrosity but it's got shape and it's got some detail Yeah Brian is this slightly unfortunate. But I guess that keeps clean color of the body . Everything is brown with the bit it's quite nice having something unusual shape. Rather than a box the Horse Guards whatever that's called over there and I can't hide the part you do that you don't like the look of that. But there must be things you do like looking at so what's the best view in London you said the best if you is from the top of the double decker bus. Now I need you to be specific 89 your boss and I'm your I'm going to. Say. Now I wasn't able to get the top a double decker bus that the child why they smoked and I grew up in on for making how thought and I really couldn't cope with the level of smoke it was really quite pleased to love to up there he went there and they remember the old light bulb Yeah my mom was a clip. On the buses so I remember the buses very very well. So this particular path would be the 14 best street was that go along with them road and and actually goes all the way up through Piccadilly and then up through to Tottenham and down to Putney but there'd be a piece of bread that I would have been long many times where Chelsea and Westminster is and what the hospital the health of the lives that it's like the further up in that between that and then I think the role Brompton Hospital. Another on top of the bus I found there's a Jewish cemetery and I never even knew existed without being on the top of the earth and because you remember we talked earlier about how nice it is to look at the architecture about street level when on a bus you do that what you are I mean I agree with you completely what you are on buses is your privy you can see into people's gardens you can see into their living room floors Yes I'm quite noisy you know but that's also why I like train journeys through long because you see people back all of the yes there's a lot you don't feel so bad exactly like it is all about stories maybe with my my attraction to film and stories who are they what are they what are they doing what they might why now why they're no I'm with you on that one so what was your boss again what number 14 because you see it's not want to or didn't exist in the old days it's long been our theory on this show the everyone in London has a bus which is theirs now you might not even have written on it for many years but it's your boss this is the 14 then or is it the 31 where you got to decide because I'm the 52 b.c. My father's film about the 3rd one birth with it just took a different read but maybe the 14 is more my school route but then I cycled a lot so I didn't often take that many buses also the 14th to ever to arrive are going to. Be I could see for. The other Please don't say that for every spider. You're listening to this looking through the day here is they really what was your background before the school what did you do before you fall from this who so apart from living this my life in London I read mathematics that did you were still right which I loved very much and then I worked in television for a bit I can with pets and animals which was great fun and then great estate and then I had this opportunity to set up film school in my late twenty's and I just. I think I was too young tell me why and how many people do you have a year. So when you take your and Max move about 63 different courses right. Let's move on to your favorite open space a park a garden whatever you want now cemeteries the my favorite prints they were born what new one when I not only born right here when I now live next to one because I knew the value of. You very much. So yes that's been a cemetery and in particular I think Brumpton cemeteries very beautiful I mean some of the some of the Northern cemeteries in the north London cemeteries are amazing like I. Can At night my sort of local park in a way in space with with Brunton cemetery and I had my favorite gravestone which is lit like an up like a bed and I would have picnics on there. And I just it's just a beautiful place and that's where you began building Yeah my thing and the wren buildings it's just a magic doesn't all the North Koreans there are no I've never really explored bones and servants you very much there's a lot of very old symmetry in Chelsea which is the Moravians tree you know with the Chelsea pottery is the pub on the King's Road Yeah well next door to that I think is the Chelsea Park there's a great offense with a guy in it which is never open behind is a is a very small symmetry of Moravians who were an extra the extreme Protestant sect and they were burned standing up right because you've got to have been married to God that this true. That is a brilliant idea that could solve all our crisis the fitting everyone in go but all important to that is the Brompton which is far too close is that bridge for my tastes but there you are also around the corner from it's quite weird to come and live like in the film academy sort of a stone's throw from where you grew up where I grew up real problem go away like that many of us left north London feel the little lady in the park my mother said we were driving out we got to what did I say that we in Africa. One Direction Africa's self I think I just felt in an alien the part of the. Picture shop. That brought the wonderful art shop on Kings Road called Green in stone. It's been there forever right materials but also sells these rather wonderful objects they could be cloth or they could be something else basically I'd like to buy everything in it but it's a cool green and green and stone and there are supplies materials yes type things that my mother used to get that my mother's children's book illustrator and we still get and a lot of my family because we have in the blues because Cornelius and some of them if you remember if you know that one which is my wife is forever in there my wife so what's really nice by consensus still run by an individual and he and his taste is very much. Part of that shop right there I'm putting you down as that shop now you're going to take us for dinner or a drink or a pub or a bar or restaurant or wherever you want to go what would be your your choice I was intrigued by the transit nature of pubs and bars they do come and go pubs may be less populous but I have to say my favorite place is the bar after. Party because everyone who works there it's a delightful think they know because I don't know it tell us where is a Bafta and is located on Piccadilly and it's up high above the shop do you want it or is this we really would know it's got a very very small entrance they have to go up 2 flights to get up to the bar they have enormous high ceilings the atrium type ceilings they don't have loud pop music I'm showing my age and the food's delicious it's never too crowded but there's quite a nice buzz going on and most importantly the stuff are really nice to be in there forever. Is that not a bit of a holiday hey how can watching. I don't drink. And watching film rehab I mean with all the right. One of I'm ace recent guest speakers the under Film Academy who with who is a wonderful editor Pia and she edited the crown Paddy Considine Paddick of the times 1st film and the journeyman recently and she's in for me a really inspiring women we met in the queue in the toilets Matha and she came in to talk to us students in January and she is just for me a really inspiring women and I think my mission is to try and invite more women that can inspire that our students let's pick a memorable not out in the city about us. Well I have. Been a long time there are quite a few but I think I'm going to get from my most recent I had a rather sad but delightful experience last year sort of October time a friend. Of mine died and. My my son's godfather organized the most wonderful funeral for her. It was just you know sometimes this is a magic She's a wonderful person and she had her funeral in the you know the big church in special field yeah at the end of one a street there just starting church and it was amazing so hopeful yes. So that lots of people came to the funeral they had the Mail and Mail Welsh squad playing there enough to make you weep. Charisse plate. And it was just a magical event and then we walked from there to back to their house and. Drank champagne and. I mean think Jamie Oliver and Angela Hartnett in the basement cooking food as the thank you because they love this woman thing much. About And I'm with and it was just a really magical evening I think it's just beautifully done not you know speeches. Too long and it's just nice to celebrate someone's life and it's just a magical moment. Almost I'm as I get older I think it is a function of getting older you go to more funerals a new day when you're young inevitably And you know sadly but inevitably and logically but be a much prefer funerals to waiting well. I just. Want if they will that when they go I mean I am quite emotional So when you weigh but you know obviously you know here we more a funeral for need to wedding Well that may leave you emotionally yes I think there was a bit of a worry. It's something I like in the finale. But. Also because whoever's going to be organizing my beliefs make sure it's going to. Be interested in a way would you be buried where would you be would you be cremated or I've really thought about this a lot for a long time I said that I wanted my I wanted to be cremated and then my ashes of 10 into the Thames because it's London it would although I did say on the other I have a play I have a love affair with spying on side said the other half in the God I would give you so half of my ashes in London and have them as you did make your family divine and your answer to yes absolutely changed my mind now I now want like a soaring eternal more one of those great big stories where people who. Be laying flat with my fellow every week can you can you try me in west London time a tree pretty well be had with my family every more like me here so maybe out there be who I really think we'd better start saving now. Sorry that's Ok I'm going to give you a day off you can't do any what would you do. Well I think about this one so I just stay in bed. I think when you have 2 children 2 small children under the age of 4 or 5 and under days off are things that really exist but if I were to not really even sure for your advantage for them I would probably Potter over see my mother have a cup of tea or have a natter that she still is in the house I was born in right in Chelsea and then maybe jump on the bus or cycle off to the biennale the Ira and end up after with the cloth a bubbly and watch film it sounds like a very nice thing to me you got someone visiting who's never been here before where would you take them well my best friend who I met in the 1st week of university Well Sco came to London I made her cycle. She maybe had a heart attack around the center of London Hyde Park Corner everything I think she really thought she was going to die but I do think cycling is a really good way of saying London it's less than a user feel London because you get the progress or you get the Top program it doesn't get a to be quicker and I think but if you were asked me to landmarks I think Covent Garden is still really beautiful and I really like pair of market and and that she the London Eye is rather a wonderful addition she's going to take them on the lawn than ours will signify anybody oh yeah you could start the ball but what sort of you are far away expecting it takes forever to get around Ok now that's a pleasant journey What's the worst journey ever does involve bicycles and it does involve bicycles confuse the regular feature of my life. So perhaps I'm a sad one so on the day of the $77.00 bombings. It was also the day that we had to collect probate for my father will be given probate to say don't play Big given probate and you were told that if you don't make your meeting the appointment then you can't get it for another 3 months so it's quite important you're there on this so you have to be there on time and I remember my mother nice spoke in the morning and we said oh there's something up with a cheap cycle. Because in town so we cycled and as we started cycling there was this eerie silence and people were streaming out of their buildings desperately trying to go on their mobile phones and because we were cycling we went checking our smartphones and we we've just a really we got there but it was just a very it is too we can't describe a weird silence and but a full and people stream and we were going against the crowd and it's just if so what did you find out what happened not to we got there really and it was because also again a lot of people left the building. They were going to the appointment that we were going to so it just it did but it did stick out in my mind as something that was not just a very you know there's almost a kind of forced calm isn't exactly exactly that's a really lovely way of summing it up. But they're full memorable and not very nice not horrible partly because there was a getting probate Yeah I must say that anyway yes exactly Ok I'm going to cheer us up with your personal London landmark something that makes you think you know I'm home or this is my town or. Quite a few but I think I have a venture they settled on the Although sadly it is disintegrating before my eyes is the Battersea Power Station. So it was down the road from us so they would see it quite often it's again close proximity to London Film Academy which is a bit weird. But we. Would signify the journey to see visit my grandparents in Dorset my grandfather used to call it the upturned table and it just had this just a really wonderful I'm having a background in sort of science myself I rather like the sort of engineering and mechanics and I've I've worked in the engine room of container ships and have you done various things and I think for me it's a symbol of. The symbol of. A beautiful structure that did look like much to look I like things that look like other things as well and then it was also working a machine you know it's no longer a flats mainly avatars in Malaysia. Exactly. But I went in when they still had the dialogue did you see yeah it was wonderful I never got to see that but it was the way it had these empty spaces but also these spaces filled with with machinery I mean you know the dials Yeah but the actual big body machinery God said perhaps it also strikes me of another era I'm going to put you down as Battersea Power Station your favorite fictional London oh God this is such a nightmare I said I didn't want to put the Sherlock Holmes in the present and so on this world. I was desperately trying to work out who it might be I went to school in the place where bit exporter lived before it bombed in the war it. But sadly she doesn't write about anybody and none of her creatures are ready based in London so I venture to settle down to the children children's but that I love called a little princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett on the night it took on more and Sarah crew so the girl in it is called Tara crew and she goes to boarding house in London . Oh I don't have another I get things like that. So that recur. In the past so it would have been sort of the rice Where have I thought had she been sent home from India right and so she's in this boarding house and then she falls on hard times and she's up in the garret in the the Leninists and then and then it comes back to these happy at the end but it's just it is a lovely she is just rather magical you're the 1st person who's ever terms and her I think she's very good I suspect you might be the 1st person that chose this film as well so you know I did a it's a very popular film there so there's more so this is a really really wonderful wonderful documentary called to the World's End Yeah the b.b.c. Sometimes have it on the i Player. Yes and it was taking the rate of the $31.00 path from the wealth and all the way up to the other end and it goes through all the different communities the Greek communities it ends up by the sweet shop where the man who runs the sweet shop who says his mother always told him his. I mean like his face is too small for his nose and your feet when you see him but it was just a magical weaving journey of this of that one bar so not only the the buses are you limited my dinner at $73.00 but it would be it was one of the airless films my father made as a director. And still to be seen to this day still to be seen to this day and indeed. The 5 just taken my father's archive so he'll be one of the p.c. a Documentary My guess is a documentary filmmaker so I'd grown up with film and through that you know and I used to enjoy going to cars are members of that is seeing the world's end on the front of buses and being absolutely terrified thinking it was going to the end of the world I thought I am never getting on my ass honestly I genuinely thought he would then you'll have any deficit so you know you should you really should see that it's just my father has a wonderful sense of humor and charm and grace to him he just a lovely. For me he was my inspiration as well he could do things beautifully and I really wanted to help another generation do things between. If you can go you can do a bit of time travel now you can go in either direction you're allowed to come back home to die where would you go think again to the past and I think I would go to a time before high rise buildings and they'd built the spires the churches so you could see them across London So where are we we're certainly in 19th 19th century. You know again I don't I'm not sure I could probably find out for you I have just rather drink now I know but it's got to be a time because I was still high buildings being built on a really churches it's only with the invention of the lift that you get beyond 5 floors in most buildings because of what went to the lift come into the night exactly but it's the invention of the lift and language to make the time the building yes because 5 floors is about as much as you can expect anyone they're still trying to keep a lot of their sight lines where possible and I think when the building the really tall buildings but not in really amazing to be up high then you can't like grandstand and like for example like some poles which is you know is important to all of us and part of a visual parity general that's of I quite like the fact that it's gone from being the biggest most impressive building in Christendom to this tiny little thing now that feels pretty nice and small I agree what is too often exactly I can't like that I agree and again it makes you wonder what we can to you know. Bladerunner here we come and we're going to have to tears of traffic and to and then those churches will really be tidy problem and that everything grows up around probably no I mean I think one of the lessons that you learn is that the past is much more so a tenacious than we give it credit for if you look at those films in the fifty's and what it would be like in the year 2000 we're all going to be wearing bike 0 for well and kind of flying around and we know they're like really you know that's like love the it still takes forever to get like actual cars actually old but I think. The buckle is the new modes adults. More people should cycle hit by spikes that know whatever they wear or whatever they are.
