Babylon filming at Dawson Heights.

[malcolmchurch]

Channel 4 are producing a new Metropolitan film series called Babylon (a pilot was shown earlier this year).

They were filming at Dawson heights today for new series to be shown later on this year.

Babylon

Police comedy drama, directed by Danny Boyle, written by Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong (Peep Show, Fresh Meat). The Met is in need of a public image revamp, so chief constable Richard Miller has hired American visionary Liz Garvey to revolutionise the force's PR department. In an age of rolling news, smartphones and an information-hungry population, Liz preaches transparency and honesty. But as an outbreak of violence erupts across London and internal backbiting begins, her mission faces its greatest test. Starring James Nesbitt, Brit Marling, Jill Halfpenny, Paterson Joseph, Bertie Carvel and Adam Deacon

The pilot was utter bilge. They'd have to go some with a series to redeem it.

Spotted this in the series preview 👍

Wrong type of guns for the Met.

[Bellerophon]

Nope, not at the time of filming. MP5 carbine standard issue.

However, so much more wrong with that that pic

On set Police advisor obviously not firearms

Mr Nesbitt wouldn't have had to travel too far for that scene.......

With this and 'The Misssing' , I imagine he will have to make some more room on his mantlepiece

Not least the view and angle in the background - it's an impossible view to have of DH (presume added in later) isn't it?

Aren't they high up in Bredinghurst, looking back diagonally at Ladlands?

I saw the Dawson Heights scenes as well as those shot in Dulwich Park - and more incredibly, they actually said they were in Dulwich Park.

Thought it was terrific . Very funny indeed . But then I loved twentytwelve Olympic Deliverance spoof .

Mmmn, does anyone else find machine-gun wielding police a turn on?

'He's dipped his dick in the Moulinex now' had me chuckling for hours.
