I used to do quote a bit of amatuer film making in my bedroom on Meanwood Road.



I promised to make lots of girls stars.

I watched a documentary about the Yorkshire Ripper a couple of months back and, as terrible as it was to hear about his awful crimes, I was much more interested in the footage of the Arndale Centre and the No.1 bus from the late 70's.

I thought you'd have told the story of that Belfast based stuff filmed round your way.

What, about how they had to tidy the place up so it looked more like trouble scarred Belfast in the 70's?

Yes, that's the one. Doesn't sound so great when you put it like that.

Remember that No 1 Lawnswood also 33 Cookridge , 36 Tinshill and the one home 30 Ireland Wood.

all a bit different now - towards the [url=http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?resourceIdentifier=20041027_43354434&DISPLAY=FULLcoburg[/url

Wow

It really is strange to see how it was back then.

Wasn't At Home With The Braithwaites filmed in Leeds also? I seem to remember part of the first episode being filmed in City Square...

Does the No. 1 not run any more?



I remember catching a No. 1 after a post match pint one Sunday with Vinnie Fawcett. Seemed really odd that there he was a professional sportsman, resplendent in his tie and blazer, catching the bus.



It went down hill pretty quick for him though as within a year he was driving a sponsor's Lada with his name on the side. Poor sod.

Yes it was. In fact, I remember an outside broadcast unit being based in the South Stand car park. They didn't use the ground itself, but they were obviously in the vicinity.



Another one shot in and around Leeds was No Angels. They used the old hospital in Armley as the central location and the Duck and Drake as their "local", as well as various other locations throughout the city.



Oh, here's one, does anybody remember a really, really bad ITV soap, was on around tea time, where viewers could vote for next weeks plot line? I think they were lawyers and used the, then new, building at the top of the inner ring road near Park Lane college as their headquarters?

I watched the first series of that. Mainly because I fancied the nurses.
