Default Peter Crouch spotted outside our house on Thursday....

And now he's appearing on the BBC! Quick ad between programs seen several times already today.
Apparently it's for a program called "Save Our Summer" starting in a couple of weeks time.

We wondered what on earth was going on, several vans, a large film crew, vaguely "socially distancing" and a cardboard cut-out of someone tall!
And one very brightly dressed individual who was clearly the "creative director".....

My neighbour (that's his bungalow) went out to ask, didn't recognise the cut-out and was told it was Peter Crouch - he was none the wiser!

Our house is on the left with all the trees and the long fence. Sadly the house (and more importantly S8) are hidden by the foliage.
Incidentally there's a small bloke standing sideways and trying to be thin, behind the cut-out holding it up!
