Textual analysis:
1) This drama uses various skyline shots to display the London life amongst different characters shown within the drama each going through their own difficulties.
2)when the characters are initially introduced the camera is continuously moving from character to character and there are various overview shots that show the road itself and the city.
3)The camerawork establishes the family element of the drama through the settings and characters facial expressions and their lifestyle as we see from the Pakistani family who are known to be working class and own a shop which allows the audience to know that the drama will be based around them as a whole family as the audience perceive their status.
4)The streets soundtrack is very effectively used as the lyrics claim that the streets wants us back and i surrender which again promotes this sense of community to the audience amongst this street and gives a aspect of social realism.
5)The trailer introduces narrative strands by suggesting that there is going to be tension as we see the portrayal of many different characters like, the banker, the Family, the old widow and how she claims that the street has changed and then we see how the banker and his wife are having a disputation and all of these things are shown near the doors of each house and this demonstrates what kind of impact these postcards are having.

Marketing and promotion:
1)The information on page 3 sounds interesting due to the show capital being described through various characters who are from different ages and ethnic minorities and gives a hint of the story line to hint the audience as a result it hooks them in to finding out more. This also asks rhetorical questions of what these postcards are whether they are coming from a campaign and what do they actually want suggesting creating more mystery to be looked into for the audiences.
2)The programme information mentions that the Director and producer have worked on shows like Happy Valley, last tango is Halifax, the hour, from there to here all these were produced.
