Jacqueline RidingGUEST
Um, so I think we forget that London was a major center for, for production and, and manufacturing as well, and this was all going on in, in this bit of South London.
Jacqueline RidingGUEST
And then I suppose the only thing I should sort of, um, observe is that, um, the area of Lambeth, which is where Chaplin moves to after he's born in Walworth, um, was also famous for its potteries, which again is something we don't think of.

It also included, as these booster-ish exhibitions tend to do, a lot of random stuff, beauty pageants and cookery demonstrations in which exotic foods like spaghetti and hot dogs were introduced to the British public.

Henry PakerHOST
I think it was Dr. Chris.
Henry PakerHOST
And they set up a gazebo on the South Bank.
Mike WozniakHOST
No, I think, I think Dr. Chris was sort of, kind of a silver-headed avuncular type from memory.

On the, uh-
Jackson WarneGUEST
On South Bank?
Michael VaughanHOST
Yes.
Jackson WarneGUEST
Yes.
Eddie EdwardsHOST
The thing is, it's an excuse to come to London and watch the film, and then you spend the weekend in London doing nice London things, which London is set up for.
Eddie EdwardsHOST
You drink on the South Bank, you go to the Natural History Museum and stuff like that, you make a little holiday of it.
Eddie EdwardsHOST
That also includes seeing Oppenheimer in digital, pin-sharp, crikey vision.
Eddie EdwardsHOST
But yeah, so as part of all this, Search for Spock is... 40 years? Is that it? 40,
Andrew BattyPANELIST
It's like very war movie, action-adventury, escape capture nonsense.
Andrew BattyPANELIST
But Terrance Dicks writes that stuff really well, and it's also like, it's the South Bank, and it's like the Strand, and it's the Savoy Hotel.
Andrew BattyPANELIST
It's like places I walk past every day.
Andrew BattyPANELIST
So, like, it was quite nice for me to just be like, "Oh, like," [laughs] "the Doctor and Ace are gonna run down that staircase."

You know, I think there is the number of people who say that this location they think is the best location to be in, you know, especially for families who are visiting London potentially for the first time.
Charlotte WeatherallGUEST
But, but this is where you would want to be in terms of going over to the South Bank, in terms of going up to Covent Garden, theaters, Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, short walk up into Mayfair.
Charlotte WeatherallGUEST
Everything you would really want to see is-
PiffGUEST
And so my whole dream was to be able to get a five or 10-minute act that could get in La Clique.
PiffGUEST
And so when I sort of, like, found, like, the costume and developed that, then, um, one year I did La Clique on the South Bank.
PiffGUEST
It was 2011, I think.
Captain FrodoHOST
Yeah, I was there.
Rick O'SheaHOST
It's not a good place to be.
Eamon SweeneyGUEST
You know, basically it starts with the Royal Albert Hall and he finishes them with doing this kind of a takeover of the Royal Festival Hall in London on the South Bank on the release of Antidepressants, which is the most recent studio album that came out last year.
Eamon SweeneyGUEST
And it's nominated for the Merkin Music Prize 33 years after they won it with the first album.
