We reported in May last year that a Made In Brixton reality TV series was being planned, and now trailers have been posted up on YouTube to advertise the pilot show.

The show promises to mix “reality and cutting edge documentary footage” and “tackle some misconceptions and preconceptions associated with this London district.”

The Made In Brixton team have released two trailers, and issued this press release:

‘First it was Jersey, then it was Essex and finally Newcastle. London’s being short-changed. We’re far too big a city to be represented by a small, champagne sipping, Range Rover driving minority, it’s not enough. So we’re bringing you Made in Brixton, where viewers will see how people in one of the most vibrant, iconic, multi cultural and sometimes controversial communities in the world live. We will mix reality and cutting edge documentary footage straight from the people on the streets as we tackle some of the misconceptions and preconceptions associated with this London district.’

The videos take the form of vox pop from the streets of Brixton (hopefully real ones this time) and includes short clips featuring what we assume will be some of the characters from the series.

When we posted up news of the proposed series story last year, we had no shortage of reaction from locals, and now that it looks like this show may actual be happening, we’d love to hear your feedback.
