Filming in Accrington
 

Ever watch that wonderful house auction programme called HOMES UNDER THE HAMMER. They were in Accrington today, around the Christ Church area. Will be nice to see a local connection on TV in a few months time. The presenter Martin Roberts, can be seen at the far right of the photo.

If there's a house up for grabs round there, can't see it going for much. There's some woman who lives round that way who's forever going around taking photographs. Really lowers the tone of the place! ;) :D

I like Martin and Lucy, he used to be on Radio Blackburn

He then worked for BBC Radio 4, as a presenter and producer, working on shows such as Woman's Hour, You and Yours, Does he Take Sugar, Going Places and the acclaimed travel programme Breakaway. He is an author and contributor to a wide range of newspapers and magazines.

About Martin & TV Info

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

It's a good programme. It is interesting to see some of the transformations that are achieved with properties that, at first sight, seem past it.

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

it'll be years before we see the transformation, it always is on that programme

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

It's very satisfying to watch knackered old buildings transformed into something wonderful again. Whenever my wife is off work we tend to watch this over late breakfast, a cracking little programme.

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

Glad it was Martin who was here doing the program last time Lucy did a property on Nelson St. she didn't half slag Accy off something terrible:(

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

Accy Market Hall under the hammer?

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

If they come back in a few months time, they could show how to turn a thriving market hall into an empty shell......

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

Do you remember that idiot who bought the Regal Cinema-Bingo hall in Bacup for £181,000 and lost it all?

Re. filming in Accrington , Flashy has just put Nature of the Beast on the Link The Film Thread .

Does anyone know whether that film can be bought on video or DVD ?
I've tried Amazon but it doesn't come up with the one filmed in Accrington and Ossy .

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

Just tried HMV and there's nothing there JCB, think there may be somebody on here has a copy and will copy one for you

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

Thanks . I got a PM and there is a thread on Nature of the Beast .
I've had a quick glance through it and it looks like it was only made for Channel 4 , and all copies seem to have been chewed up or worn out .

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

I still have 2 copies of it on DVD gathering dust if you want one JCB :)

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

Are you sure they're not Ian's:D

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

The young chap who co-starred in the film lived opposite me and I was a drinking mate of his parents, Sue and Mark Dearden. Sue died but I haven't seen Mark for a few years now.

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

You should know by now jaysay what's mine is mine and what's his is mine too ;)

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

Have you started flogging films again, showing off your gaff?

Put me down for one.

:D

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

How silly, should have known better really:D

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

Homes under the Hammer were back in Accy yesterday, filming second part of the "house's history".

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

Any idea of when it's being shown on the goggle box?

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

Probably when they can find a slot between all the repeats :D

Hi, it will probably be MONTHS before the Accrington Homes under the Hammer is shown, but as soon as I hear anything, I will let you all know. Should be rather an interesting one.

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

Thanks

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

Update is on now

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

Lovely house, after they'd done it.

Where abouts is it?

Looked similar to the early Victorian houses near St. Jame's church, although know it wasn't there.

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

The update, where they revalue the house. after refurbishment, it said was done in March of this year.

Should imagine it'll be on BBC-i player, for anyone who's missed it.

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

Now available at
BBC iPlayer - Homes Under the Hammer: Series 14: Episode 116
Accrington looks very good indeed and it starts at 31.11 but the whole programme isn't bad to be fair

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

Christ Church st

Shame to have a nice big house like that with a diidy back yard.

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

Lovely houses though, photo here

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

We used to live at number 5, Christ Church Street, which is a double-fronted house with 4 huge bedrooms. It had all the original features - architraves, ceiling roses and covings, etc. The rear yard was small, but there was a large elevated garden across the back alley. It was a superb house and came with its own ghost!

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

I hate to think what you do with one of those.

Inside, or out.

:eek::D:eek:

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

I really should wear my glasses more :D

Re: Filming in Accrington
 

Don't worry, so should I.

When I first posted, I thought it said dildy.

Which amused me.

Sounding a little like a celebrity chef.

:D
