Question of the week: We've asked this before, but it's worth asking again - do you have a favourite London film or tv show? "London architecture the defines both interior and exterior space as the bright, interested young hero (Matthew Macfayden) in Stephan Poliakoff's 'Perfect Strangers' takes a road trip with his parents (Michael Gambon and Jill Baker) from a rather ordinary London suburb to a family reunion at a posh maze of a London hotel. Perhaps a hundred or so cousins have gathered, although only the clusters of immediate families know each other. One cousin (Anton Lesser) is a self-appointed family archivist who has identified their wider connections to one another. He narrates mesmerizing photo-biographies that resolve quite marvelous mysteries. Locations include terrace houses during the Blitz; the Whitehall offices of one mysterious and glamourous cousin (Toby Stevens), and the starkly costly rented flat of another (Claire Skinner); and both a vacant house filled with things left behind and a vacant warehouse emptily potential.
Other London films I can watch again and again include 'Sliding Doors' and 'Truly, Madly, Deeply', and all of these are in the LUP Library"- Dr Holt
