The Tower – A Tale of Two Cities. Intro.

The Tower, a new, epic, observational documentary which has been filmed over three years, charts the urban regeneration of the notoriously troubled Pepys Estate in South London. A property developer is turning a dilapidated former council high-rise into luxury riverside apartments and another is being demolished and rebuilt for public sector workers. The changes are happening under the gaze of those still living in the original local authority houses next door. Catch a repeat if you can.
Video Rating: 4 / 5

(now in HD) After a member of the Police Hugging Squad was detained for filming outside the USA Embassy in London earlier this month, the Undercover Anti-Terror Squad returned to spread the message of peace and love in order to prevent the end of the world by self-fulfilling prophecies of fear. We manage to hypnotise a young Policeman, perform a couple of songs, and find out how easy it is to get people to prove they are not terrorists.

    Can you please post the whole documentary so we can see it?
    It’ll take ages for the BBC to get around to reshowing this (if they ever do)

  2. 5Willoughby says:

    Best series ever, need to get the DVD. Deserved that Bafta award.

    This will, in years to come be seen as the theme tune to New Labour and their disastrous period in office which led up to the housing bubble and subsequent banking collapse.

    I hope the heroin user made it but I fear the worst. God bless him.

  4. pollenrox says:

    Where can I watch the whole thing…????

  5. glaxev says:

    true i got really angry watching this, at the same time just pity those rich people moving in, take no notice of their ignorance, and they are just trying their best.
    I really hope that drug addict who was a key character in this documentary is still alive and doing well.

  6. glaxev says:

    yes as gentrification is as well.

  7. NeverTrustSmilingCat says:

    Regeneration is social cleansing.

  8. sondinium says:

    Just downloaded episode 1 from Veoh. Ta for the tip

  13. keepingdogeye says:

    Have tried the Veoh site, it’s only showing 5min previews. Anyone kno where I can get hold of the whole episodes? Absolutely loved this series. Effortlessly lifted the lid on what a heartless, carve-up of a con job is being wreaked upon the London working classes at the moment. The raging yahs in this programme made my blood boil! Soulless, apolitical, greedy capitalist scum. We have been sold down the swanny my friends! Respect to all involved in this documentary series. South London Forever. x

  14. sondinium says:

  29. mrjonhicks says:

    That’s a good point. Y’all need some love police uniforms. I’m thinkin Shaft meets Ronald Mcdonald.

  30. Cypher25z says:

    8.27.. thats exactly what the system wants, emotionless, mindless robots as police officers unable to relate to fellow human beings!!

  31. Cypher25z says:

    Infinite love is the only truth, everything else is illusion

  32. bloodymissb says:

    Oh my god I love you guys. Not only are these videos an inspiration, they are funny to boot. I haven’t laughed so hard in ages after seeing you guys try to card the police officer at the end. :D

  33. gazaturkeyshoot says:

    Love is the answer.
    5*****+
    Peace.

  34. svynka says:

    Thank you, America, for McDonald’s.

    I just re-watched these Everything is OK videos for the first time in a few months, and they crack me up now as much as they did before. In fact, a few times in the last few months, if I was having a bad day, I just envisioned Danny saying “thank you, America, for McDonald’s,” or Charlie talking about American foreign policy.

  35. xxxslayerxxx666 says:

    hell yeah at 4:11 and those lyrics at the end of that song are perfect!

  42. maggottdude says:

    @negativespace000 with everything is OK, they’re trying to show ppl that they dont have to be feared all the time of terrorists, swine flu,… and stay scared , isolated, avoiding human contact… and spreading love/hugs at the same time…

    ofc everything is far from OK, and they dont forget to use this phrase in a sarcastic/ironic way when they get a chance

  43. maggottdude says:

    poor copat 5:10,
    he couldnt even comprehend what you guys were asking him…
    all love sucked out of him and left with a desensitized body….
    no expressions in his face…
    no smile…
    no anything…
    like a body without sole…

  44. maggottdude says:

    doggie is saaaaaaad

  45. sheshoxare805 says:

    jajajaj yo quiero algo de esto en puerto montt :)

  46. negativespace000 says:

    Do they actually believe that everything is OK? Is it a joke or what?

  47. zernestro says:

    fukcing brilliant:)

  48. Okolaa says:

    you guys ROCK!!! love ya :D

  49. AlterEgoTrip says:

    I could see the question of giving them a hug was rather “disarming” to them… I thought it was quite sincere.

  50. ThereIsCake says:

    I’m amazed that this obviously crazed wannabe suicide bomber isn’t being waterboarded in Gitmo.
