Operation Meet the Street

Production Details

James Martin spearheads a nationwide campaign designed to bring communities together and tackle the growing issue of loneliness in the UK in Operation Meet The Street.  In this brand new series, five celebrities go back to a street they grew up on to find out who lives there now and help them set up a real social network.  Dom Littlewood, (Don’t Get Done Get Dom), Dave Myers (Hairy Bikers), Helen Skelton (Holiday Hit Squad, Blue Peter) Denise Lewis OBE and Alex Jones (The One Show) visit their old haunts and inspire the locals to come together by creating a fun community event.  James also meets those on the front line of tackling loneliness to find out what can be done to prevent and tackle isolation.
