Wasteland by colourful flats just before Elephant & Castle

[ClareC]

This morning as I went down Walworth Road on the bus towards E&C, the wasteland by flats was a hive of activity, busses, trailers etc. Looked like something may be being filmed there. This seems to happen fairly regularly, is this just a popular filming location or is there a particular show regularly filmed there.... or am I entirely wrong and its something different altogether?

Please don't mention The Walworth Road as I will become misty-eyed and homesick and nostalgic 26 years since I departed that wondrous place.

Haven't been back there since, well last Thursday actually...:)

You can take the Boy away from The Walworth Road but you can't take The Walworth Road away from The Boy...

Wondrous ? Walworth Road ? oh well ... each to their own .;-)

Well I'm a massive loser, but I was watching Celebrity Masterchef a month or so back, and one of their tasks was to feed a hungry film crew.

It was Ashes to Ashes.

And it looked for all the world like that lot.

And Gene Hunt was there. Are they making a third series? Tell me that they are and that the redoubtable Philip Glennister's going to be in the vicinity...

I think Pip's brother Robert is an ED-ite, Rosie, so just befriend him and then swap saddles when his brother appears. Maybe he'll call you Bollyknickers.

Anyway, Hunt's over-rated. A2A is all about the fiercely heterosexual Ray.

Ooh Ted, I've just come over all unnecessary: if he called me Bollyknickers I'm sure I would die with pleasure on the spot.

My gay childhood hairdresser looked uncannily like a besilked, besunbedded, behighlighted Ray. He left me for Joan Rivers.

I know that lot - they film there about twice a month and it's full of trailers and food waggons. I have no idea what it's all about though - sorry.

[ClareC]

They were definitely there this morning on my way to work! Always gone by the time I am on my way home ..... part timers ;-)

ClareC - Its the long standing 'The Bill' that use the local area as a filming location

[RosieH]

Booo, really? I don't fancy any of them.

[Annasfield]

Was going to suggest "The Bill" as they were all dressed up as Bizzies this morning.

[????]

I was going to say The New Den and then I saw it was E&C not South Bermondsey

[bigbadwolf]

The New Den's on Zampa rd in Lewisham's Silwood triangle, not south Bermondsey.

Pinhead.
