Launching a new series, 60 Seconds with Siouxsie, the inimitable Dr Wiles has a few sharp words for anyone thinking they might catch up with neighbours for a drink or a chat, even at a couple of metres apart.
In our first video, made possible by the support of Spinoff members, Siouxsie Wiles has a message for everyone who is meeting their neighbours down the bottom of the driveway, even if you’re staying two metres apart.
