Suggs is back with a new series of his award-winning show, Disappearing London, setting off on another journey in search of the capitals vanishing history, and celebrating the endangered buildings, open spaces and unsung treasures which give the city its character and charm, but which may not be around for very much longer.The series kicks off on Tuesday January 9th at 7.30pm (ITV1 London, also on digital) and runs for 6 weeks (Jan 9,16,23,30, Feb 6 & 13).
Amongst the many highlights from the new series, is the sight (and sound) of Suggs doing a music hall duet with legendary entertainer Roy Hudd, plus a visit to a 60s-style recording studio in the east end where Madness have recently been recording using a mixing desk from Abbey Road.
In other programmes Suggs investigates the story of London’s Tin Pan Alley, explores Churchill’s forgotten wartime hideaway and finds out what a World War Two prisoner of war camp is doing in the middle of a South London park. He also visits ex-boxing champ Clinton Mackenzie in his pub gym and investigates the hidden history of horse-drawn London.
Packed with surprising information, great characters, and some fabulous old archive film, Disappearing London gives viewers a chance to discover some of London’s best-kept secrets, before they disappear for ever.
