Deep Topography in Leytonstone

Writer and deep topographer Nick Papadimtriou wanders out to the fringe of east London, his footsteps dogged by gonzo doc maker John Rogers.

He is priceless. A very poetic and meditive study of Mr. Papadimtriou.

Deep Topography in Leytonstone is a great video, every county in the UK needs a Nick Papadimitriou to walk, sleep and breath the regions within.

Not really true, Bratty: I did do some field research for Book of Dave but Will is quite capable of putting those boots on and when he does, he really goes for it!

What ! Will Self employs him to walk around London investigating and pontificating - Lazy Will ! Cant believe I havnt heard or read of Nic - what a nice guy - and the graciousness to explain the first comment he made - London causes irrational thinking and if we never erupted or commented on how it annoys we would be truly sheep

Oh er... I regret making that remark and always expected some flack for it. I guess I'm subject to modern stresses like everyone else. Sadly the camera - on this occasion - didn't lie.

Imperial war has been replaced by spitting Somalians. Deep insight, for sure(!)
