filming at the CPT today

Yep, they shot crowd scenes for the rugby world cup. Apparently the place was full of stupidly beautiful people, and the staff didn't even get to be in it!

Aha - all become clear. I drove past yesterday and the outdoor area was full of abnormally gorgeous people (as opposed to the normally gorgeous people that frequent the CPT I hasten to add).

?fraid so lozzyloz. As far as I can make out it involves 30 guys fighting over a ball. They used to do that on Friday nights in my hometown but without the ball. Think someone must have stolen it.

So we're going to see the CPT on the telly then?

Would seem so, and apparently the film crew said they wanted to film in the area, and went to all the bars down Lordship Lane, and thought the CPT was by far the nicest, so there :)-D

The filming was for EDF (the french energy company) idents for the their sponsorship of ITV's Rugby world cup coverage, EDF did the same with last year's football world cup "where do they get the energy from?" .

Think the CPT was most likely chosen because of the two bars (2 locations for the price of 1), plenty of natural light being on a corner and all, plenty of parking, easy access and it's proximity to the other locations they used on underhill road. Plus it's unrivalled charm.

It would have done wonders for the cpt lonely hearts club wall (where did that go, by the way? It was hilarious!)
