Over a period of eighteen months, Tony Parker conducted interviews with the residents of an ordinary housing estate in South London. He engaged with an assorted mixture of personalities, including:
- A vagrant
- Two policemen
- An often-convicted fence who was the mother of five children
- A pro-flogging magistrate
- A local doctor
- A 75-year-old widower who spent "an hour or two in bed each week with one or other of about twelve different ladies I meet at our church"
The inhabitants of "Providence" opened their hearts, revealing all their quirks, emotions, and prejudices.
These interviews demonstrate that extraordinary stories are not confined to deserts or jungles. Even amid the bleak sprawl of South London, Tony Parker uncovered a diverse and enthralling community.
