Dan BullHOST
Th- there could be something there, the inspiration for a bit of a gritty film.
Will WarrenHOST
Well, just to burst your pop bubble there, the video for this was filmed in The Black Prince, uh, in Kennington, in South London.
Dan BullHOST
Oh.
Will WarrenHOST
A pub that I know very well, 'cause I used to live a stone's throw away from that pub, so I've drunk in there many times.
John WybrewGUEST
We moved into a flat where we lived.
John WybrewGUEST
My aunt at the time had a motor rewind shop in Kennington.
John WybrewGUEST
And we're all working in London, so we rented a little flat above it or she gave us like virtually free rent there.
John WybrewGUEST
So we were in Kennington in South London.
John WybrewGUEST
And it just started to feel and we started to sort of understand and we started to find our way.
John WybrewGUEST
And that's when we really turned to, I suppose, our stuff becoming a bit darker and a bit more sort of, you know, a bit more serious.
John WybrewGUEST
We were just sort of ensconced in this whole sort of scene.
John WybrewGUEST
Yeah.
Iain MartinHOST
And whereabouts are you today?
Katy EllisGUEST
Um, I'm in Kennington or Oval.
Katy EllisGUEST
We have our, uh, at our offices, uh, in South London.
Iain MartinHOST
Cool.
Robert MorrellNARRATOR
They did not blow anybody up, but in the general election of 1885 they ran two candidates in London, Mr. Williams in Hampstead, who got 27 votes, and Mr.
Robert MorrellNARRATOR
Fielding in Kennington, who got 32 votes, and they made no secret of the fact that the expenses of these elections had been paid by one of the established political parties in order to split the vote of the other.
Robert MorrellNARRATOR
From the point of view of the abstract moralist, there was nothing to be said against the transaction, since it was evident that the socialist statesmanship must for a long time to come consist largely of taking advantage of the party dissensions between the unsocialists.
Robert MorrellNARRATOR
It may easily happen tomorrow that the Liberal Party may offer to contribute to the expenses of a Fabian candidate in a hopelessly Tory stronghold in order to substantiate its pretensions to encourage Labour representation.
Katherine RyanHOST
I made a promise to my good friend James Gill that I would do his gig, and Always Be Comedy really is one of three of the best gigs in London.
Katherine RyanHOST
They have a Kennington location at The Tommy Field.
Katherine RyanHOST
They have a Balham location at...
Katherine RyanHOST
I don't know what it was called.
Dan BullHOST
But it was great to see them together.
Dan BullHOST
And I don't know if I mentioned this, but the video of that song was recorded in a pub that I used to go into in Kennington.
Dan BullHOST
Really? Back in the London days.
Will WarrenHOST
Oh, we could do a little sort of Pet Shop Boys tour of London, couldn't we? Because they're from there, aren't they?
Patrick RankinHOST
It was obvious the film drew heavily on Chaplin's own childhood.
Patrick RankinHOST
He even based the tramp's cramped garret on rooms where he and Sydney had lived with their mother in Lambeth and Kennington.
Patrick RankinHOST
The Kid wasn't a literal retelling of those experiences, but it allowed Chaplin to reshape their central elements, poverty, abandonment, and the fear of being taken away, into fiction.
Patrick RankinHOST
The film would be heartfelt, funny, of course, and far more ambitious than anything Chaplin had attempted before.

Patrick RankinHOST
When Chaplin appeared at a window and began throwing flowers to the people below, hotel management asked him to stop for fear of causing a riot.
Patrick RankinHOST
But he did manage to slip away.
Patrick RankinHOST
Leaving through a service entrance at The Ritz, Chaplin took a taxi alone to Kennington, the South London neighborhood where he had grown up.
Patrick RankinHOST
And for a few hours, he was able to revisit the places of his childhood.
Simon EvansGUEST
What drew me to Cyrano? There's two things, really.
Simon EvansGUEST
The first is, I mean, I first directed the play about 15 years ago in a room behind a pub in Kennington at the White Bear Theatre.
Simon EvansGUEST
And it's one of those plays that I keep coming back to and at different periods in my life means something different.
Simon EvansGUEST
And I think at the moment... because of various things in my own life and the sort of way I'm seeing the world, the idea of somebody who uses language as a way to control the world around him, I think is something very interesting.
David TuckerHOST
The Oval was already one of London's great sporting stages.
