Danny Boyle Babylon filming in forest hill

[Jacbuc]

did anyone recognise the streets outside the back gate of the horniman gardens in last nights showing of Danny Boyles Babylon on channel 4? I was left wondering how they managed to get so many armed police hiding in the hedges in the middle of the night without frightening at least a few unsuspecting locals.

Oh I thought I saw Danny Boyle on the street when it was all closed off for filming a few months ago. Seems a very short time from filming to broadcast.

We live nearby and got pre-warned by the film company and given a list of their daily shooting schedule. It was filmed on Westwood Park, Horniman Drive, Cleeve Hill and I think the Hermitage.

It was interesting watching the filming but it is incredible how long it takes to film a 10 second sequence.

Pre Warned? Werent you just warned?

Why so niggly, does warned/prewarned really make any difference to the person's post?

You must have spotted his obsessions with tautology or superfluity in language.

I'm kind of with t.e.d. on this one, surely pre-warning is "tomorrow I'm going to tell you something really important ... byeeee"

[the-e-dealer]

Pre thanks to you El Pibe! I'll pre buy you a pint!

[Otta]

Yeah, I know that he's right, but who really gives a shit? It was just basically being a twat to someone who had written a completely inoffensive post.

None of the above alters the fact that "Babylon" was a pile of turd.

Surely it was more a pile of 'pre' turd.

As in "I would have pre turd watching something else."

I'll get me coat.

Was amused that Westwood Park got name checked in it!

They crammed lots into it - am curious to see how the series'll pan out.
