I'm not surprised GOB was questioned by security while filming around the Pearson Square apartments.
I have not seen the clip, so I am taking a stab in the dark here. But, I feel ambivalent about this. On the one hand, it is private property and absolutely their right to refuse filming. On the other hand, everything is captured on camera these days and it does always make my laugh when people get hysterical over filming when there are literally cameras everywhere.

I see your point, cameras are indeed everywhere. But I would feel uncomfortable filming within the confines of where people live, thoroughfare rights are thankfully granted in many of these properties. I would feel lucky I could access the area without it being gated, which is what those who pay 7 figures for an apartment might expect. Neither would I walk around filming on council estate pathways where I didn't live.

Well, to be honest, GOB does have some creepy fans, who like to hang out in places she has Vlogged in case they bump in to her! Then this happened....🤣

Or in chapels, where people go for quiet contemplation and are silently praying.

She disturbed the lady there with her rude, chit-chat piece to camera. Anyone with decency would not have done that in a sacred space.

Don't agree, not everything is captured on camera. Nor should it be.

Not being argumentative whatsoever,but what makes you think that?

CCTV literally everywhere in the city, especially in London. The security guard probably was wearing body worn CCTV. I've not come to that part yet, as I keep getting distracted and GOB's videos can be so boring, so I do remain ambivalent about this specific incident.

To me it was her entitled attitude that grated, she doesn't mention on the vlog about being asked not to film, she recounted the tale on the radio show, with a very bolshi "I know my rights" approach, adding that she attracted attention to herself when she was dealing with the security folk.

Being "the woman who films where she's not allowed to" has become part of her lame wannabe rebel persona. She mentions it so often she must be very proud of it.

Does anyone know what music Filipe added for the scenes in the chapel? It's quite nice, better than the dreary Poundland radio dross that usually features.

It was mentioned upthread, Puccini's 'O Mio Babbino Caro'. It's a beautiful piece, now used constantly by Italvloggers.

Thank you!

I can't see GOB being told to stop filming when she is outside the apartments.

The woman in Hobb's looked ridiculous wearing Birkenstock's with a suit! Flat smart black shoes would have been a better option. It's interesting how we have never seen GOB's vintage Hobb's jacket before. I thought she would have gotten it out for a roof top parade. The jacket looks very smart, much better than what she usually wears.

She told the story of being questioned about filming on her radio show, she didn't mention it on the vlog. She opened the show with the tale, doing the usual harrumphing about the challenges of her day and asking for calls from listeners if they'd experienced similar.

I loved the Hobbs woman moving GOB on from the story of her old jacket, steering the chat straight back on message about the new collection. 😂

Thanks for the reply Gloria, :) and I totally agree about CCTV being in use and I suppose it has it's advantages. Same as body/camera wearing police and security.

I should have been clearer , what I should have said is, I have never seen anyone film themselves or folk around them when out and about.

What I would strongly object to , is someone like Jo Good or those nuisance 'Influencers" :rolleyes: filming in a space (church, shop, restaurant) and seeing myself plastered on her vlog. It's unacceptable and the more people that let her know this the better.;)

There is a YouTuber Natasha Faterina who films around luxury shopping areas of London, Bond Street, Knightsbridge etc. You don't see her on camera, nor does she speak, it's just footage with stupid YouTube music on top. It really looks as if the people she films are totally unaware of her, I'm certain she must wear a hidden camera or camera glasses. Sometimes she will film from across the street but other times she films people walking directly towards her, they'll often pass her very closely, not giving her a glance, then she sometimes then turns to film them walking away from her. I know the people are out walking on public streets but it seems quite creepy to me.

I’m not sure why she bangs on about not using ring lights when we all saw the ring light in the reflection on her bathroom tiles…whining about living in a small Marylebone flat - the bloody entitlement!!!

And filming up the nostrils as per usual 🤮

Filming in that chapel whilst that poor woman who was having a quiet moment and the delusional stuff about London cabbies picking her up to drive her home in the rain….er, okay..

Yesterday's radio show, I did lots of fast-forwarding.

Didn't bother with most of the segment promo for her Notting Hill facialist, GOB was at pains to point out that she pays her way there.

There was a later segment about audience etiquette in theatres, GOB again gave her snobby old bag point of view about how people turn up badly dressed to the theatre, carrying backpacks. One of the contributors, an academic, said it was the the upper classes who put dress codes in place to keep the working classes away. Did GOB even realise this is exactly what she is doing? Not very on-brand for our free-n-easy-breezy-old-hippy.

Living in her W1 media bubble she has no understading that many working people need to be out their door at 6.30am for a full working day, nowhere to store a change of clothes if hot-desking or working at various sites, then lucky to get away to the West End for showtime, carrying their laptop to their seat because they can't leave it in the cloakroom. "Theatre supporter" Jo Good thinks if you can't pop back to your nearby flat to freshen up and pick up an evening bag you should keep your money in your pocket and not buy a ticket to a West End show.

I caught the first part of Cristo Foufas' 5am TalkRadio show last Saturday morning, I soon switched over to music as I was off on a long drive but caught that he was talking about how the BBC works, so I just listened back to it. Turns out he was propmpted by Tim Davie saying he believes most people are "happy" to pay the £159 TV licence fee.

Cristo said he likes the BBC, he hopes they can change to save themselves and, although he can find them biased at times, some of their journalism is very good. But he thinks the licence fee is the most bizarre way of paying for it. He thinks a basic BBC service (eg BBC 1, 2, radio, a basic news website) should be provided from general taxation, with any extras to be paid for by subscription

He said a BBC subscription model would give the people who worked there "a more commercial mindset2. When Cristo was at ITV he worked with ex BBC folk who couldn't handle a commercial pace. He gave an example of an assistant producer at the Beeb who'd been in the same role for 30 years with an attitidue of "I'm in now, I'm staff, I'll never get fired". Cristo was frustrated trying to get anything done when he worked at the BBC, saying it takes 30 people to make a decision. He recalled during the London bombings a BBC local station was talking about odd socks. And, as there's no need to chase an audience, you get lazy features, eg a local radio afternoon show asking "What's out your window?" (I'm guessing Jo Good's show BITD 🤣).

Some of you might remember that Cristo was on BBC RL overnights quite a few years ago. A while back I heard him say that he'd always felt unwelcome there, he was never given a security pass and when he arrived every night, security staff acted as if they didn't know who he was, then he was eventually let go by a text from the editor.

Exactly - and your description pretty much describes my working/social life patterns. Working people like this will make up a significant number of audience members for theatres during the week, and I'm sure those theatres are delighted to welcome us. It's great to be able to dress up when feasible, but it isn't always feasible.
