Suggs in Soho

First Broadcast 17/04/2008

[@kevinwhelan9607]

I think the word Suggs was looking for during his vicambulist wanderings around Soho was "serendipitous". 'Serendipidy' was coined by Horace Walpole in his fairytale of 1754 'The Three Princes of Serendip'. When I was 17 (in 1981) my interpretation of the "nutty dance" to 'Baggy Trousers' was legendary- in my memory, that is. Oh what fun we had, for sure❤

Love Suggs & his clever wordplay!

[@johngough2958]

It shows in lyrics too!

I was never much a madness fan, but in the last few years I've come to love suggs. He's never changed despite his celebrity status. It's great to share his passions for london , he's actually just a great bloke.......camden town, ill meet you by the underground

[@kevinwhelan9607]

Like the classic album cover from 1980.

Great film Very enjoyable!

[@morganfisherart]

Can't understand why Suggs didn't mention his mum, jazz singer Eddi MacPherson, who was a famous habitué of the Colony Room.

I love that Suggs is remaining Properly sartorial with his Cromby and pegged trousers and generally smart look.

It's criminal what they've done to Soho, bastards have decimated the place...

[@phil6025]

I wish I'd seen this before I visited the UK in 2016.

[@madamedellaporte4214]

Not the same now. All sold off to conglomerates.

[@keithsunderland8839]

I saw the look on your face when Steven said he lived on the other side of Piccadilly.

[@keithsunderland8839]

Very good Documentary!! He should explore other places!

[@johngough2958]

Love the idea of a Groucho club - but would they have Groucho as a member?

Only a few years ago but now SOHO Is derelict

[@annother3350]

SoHo should be short for SoHomogenised these days

[@adolfnoise4673]

same as in hamburg st.pauli.sad.

[@duffbaker9554]

Get off those beaten paths and try some of the cities in the former Iron-Curtain countries, you'd be surprised.

[@annother3350]

@@duffbaker9554 But i cant get the train back to south east london if i go there...

[@duffbaker9554]

@@annother3350 Yeah, I can see how that'd be a problem for you..

[@tomcarl8021]

You should see Greenwich Village, NYC. Lost all its character.
