I still haven't read it, mostly out of principle because I live in Willesden. And everyone who knows that says 'Oh, so have you read White Teeth yet?" And I say no.
But I have started dipping into the TV series, mainly because the TV ads said 'Living in Willesden can seriously damage your health'. Obviously, I'm now considering moving because I'm just that easily led by TV.
So far, from what I've seen, there's no Willesden on the TV show. But then again, a mate told me that it was all filmed in Manchester anyway. Which is most unfair.
It's not as if Willesden gets many shots at fame.
