PECKHAM!
Peckham was the setting of the television sitcom Only Fools and Horses, although the series was filmed elsewhere in its run as a regular series from 1981 to 1991, as well as Christmas specials until 2003
A 30-minute musical called "We The Ragamuffin" was filmed in Peckham (mainly on the North Peckham Estate). The film used local musicians with an improvised script and was broadcast on Channel 4 in February 1992.
In 2001, the ITV drama series Bad Girls introduced three characters from Peckham who called themselves The Peckham Bootgang.
Peckham is the home of the main character of Dot. Robot by Jason Bradbury.
Peckham was home of the fictional character Rose Tyler, a former leading character in the British TV show Doctor Who.
The E4 show Youngers is filmed and set in Peckham.
Ike Hamilton's character in The Boat That Rocked, Harold, claims to be from Peckham, and stays on the boat facing persecution rather than returning home.
In the television series Foyle's War, Series Eight, Adam Wainright, Samantha's husband, is elected in 1947 as Labour Member of Parliament for the (fictional) constituency of 'West Peckham'.
