Dominic Arkwright asks Guy Browning, Laurie Penny and Edson Burton about neighbours.

Dominic Arkwright asks Guy Browning, Laurie Penny and Edson Burton about neighbours, are they a support network? From 2011.

When Guy Browning decided to make a film, he roped in his entire village to help keep the costs down. 

Which makes you wonder - is this the Big Society finally at work? 

Also joining Dominic Arkwright to discuss the support network of neighbours, both nasty and nice, are: 

Laurie Penny the writer of the Penny Red blog; 

And Dr Edson Burton, who recalls when living in bedsits didn't just mean your neighbours were in the same street, but under the same roof. 

Producer:  Miles Warde  

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in July 2011.
