What’s essential work? Hopefully not crap morning TV shows so celebs can lockdown also. But as usual that won’t happen.

It’s certainly not going to be easy and will impact some more than others.
The guidance allows everyone to leave their home for one form of exercise per day. If yours is driving, instead of something else there is an argument it should be ok once per day. At least in a car the viral transmission risk should be fairly limited?
The list of essential occupations are all listed online on the .gov website.
In essence the message is really clear.
“People will only be allowed to leave their home for "very limited" purposes:
- Shopping for basic necessities, as infrequently as possible
- One form of exercise a day - for example a run, walk, or cycle - alone or with members of your household
- Any medical need, to provide care or to help a vulnerable person
- Travelling to and from work, but only where this is absolutely necessary and cannot be done from home
He [Boris] added: "That's all - these are the only reasons you should leave your home.”
And yes agree - light entertainment TV is not really essential. News and reporting I believe is on the essential list.
