I see Tim is working on a new series to be shown later in the year on
Yesterday. From a tweet this morning of his:

One of the few +ves of commuting on the tube (and filming a TV show called
#SecretsOfTheLondonUnderground) during a lockdown is that recently I’ve
been walking around London’s underground network a lot, and at times,
almost *entirely* by myself.

That led me to an announcement from two weeks ago:

filming a TV show called
#SecretsOfTheLondonUnderground during a lockdown

How is that an essential service?

It's work, which is allowed. In fact, reporters have been on duty
throughout the pandemic.

Reporting is an essential service. Making documentaries about the
secrets of The Underground isn't.

Lots of radio, TV amd film production has continued through Lockdown.

Must admit that it seems hard to justify yet another film about the
London Underground during Lockdown.

Who said it was? The rule is work from home if you can. Otherwise you should go
to work and observe precautions. You can even hold large, indoor, meetings for
work purposes.

It might be something that will be interesting to watch on TV though!
(For once)

.... even if the 'secrets' aren't actually a secret to anyone here.

There is no requirement that a job of work should be essential before it is
undertaken

The law accepts that commercial life must go on

So it is simply subjected to social distancing rules

and if you can make a socially distance documentary, you are 100% free to do
so. (and the presenter can even have their hair professionally cut before
doing so)

The sort of reporting which scared the **** out of the gullible with the
covid hysteria should be banned, never mind be essential.
