New series with dean macey, starts next Thursday at 8 pm, on ITV 4.
How come The Only Way Is Essex these days? Can they not find a presenter from anywhere else?
That's just Essexist, besides Dean Macey works for Decathlon surely?
Would Essex be anything like " another planet" Rob?
Judging by the odd reality tv show , which I haven't watched, it is!
Its funny this Essex bashing, always seems to easy for folks living outside the place to 'have a go' from a distance
Loads of top people in Essex and a small minority give the place a bad rep, they are mad on fishing there plus there are some of the most scenic coastal areas in the country
I grew up in Dagenham,Essex. They moved it into London in 1965. I dont recognise most of the cr&p talked about the county.
Our Editor came from just down the road at South Okendon. (Terrific pit fishing area at the time)
Hey HO what do I know. I own a Skoda!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good man,I own one too....
Did you look at the article ? It's a fascinating look at the county and it's postwar history, and the writer is fully aware of the Essex stereotype and goes way beneath it. My earlier comment just reflects that I get cheesed off with the loud, 'avin' it large presenter style that drowns out a lot of the pleasure in a fishing programme.
Yes I did, I didn't agree with some of it though, I actually go fishing at South Woodham Ferrers a bit so found that interesting as it is a really nice place to wet a line and a nice town.
I think the loud presenters thing isn't an Essex monopoly when you look at Robson Green and others, its always an easy stereotype though.
Have you seen Oil City Confidential? The Dr Feelgood story - delicious mix of people, place and music. Deservedly got rave reviews along these lines ""What's really captivating about the film is the stunning footage of an industrial rust belt world, the life history of the band members growing up there, the articulate-funny candour of surviving band members and locals, perhaps especially guitarist Wilko Johnson, and the band performance footage integrated into the whole". A little hymn to one side of Essex. There was no need to mention Robson Green
