Think Howard from the Halifax and when he was animated? Does he have a job anymore?

What would u prefer.That Brian Sewell clown, the art critic?

So they have been successful, so successful they want to relocate to another part of the country and give 'better' service to the Midlands. How does that work.

ITV did the same with their news and look at that. Bloody awful.

The Kerrang decision is purely down to cost cutting. Commercial radio is struggling at the moment.

CityGent · June 10th, 2009, 07:03 PM

Here's a couple of snaps of the filming from my phone.

Fake fog was used:

Erebus555 · June 10th, 2009, 07:04 PM

Not the best weather for it! Or maybe it was....

smysticed · June 11th, 2009, 12:07 PM

Ah, now I see why they were filming in Birmingham... post-apocalyptic wasteland in the heart of the city centre? Look no further than Arena Central" :p

i_like_concrete · June 11th, 2009, 12:16 PM

I wonder if they'll apply digital effects to make the Hyatt look a bit post-apocalyptic.

Erebus555 · June 11th, 2009, 09:40 PM

Maybe it was them who knocked out that cladding panel on the back of the Hyatt! Maybe they were planning on doing this all over!

Markb03 · June 11th, 2009, 10:10 PM

They are going to use CGI to make hyatt and alpha dissapear. They are also blowing up the studios but only in CGI

My studios are staying lol

feltip · June 11th, 2009, 11:14 PM

Nooooooooooooooooooooo!!

We could do with a few landmark Brummie buildings so people who watch it and actually visit can go ooh saw that on TV.

U475 Foxtrot · June 12th, 2009, 08:59 AM

Nice to see the television studios being used for what they was designed for.

Markb03 · June 12th, 2009, 09:14 AM

It was very surreal to see them in use again.

i_like_concrete · June 14th, 2009, 07:38 PM

They were filming Survivors around snowhill today, can't remember whether it was Edmund St or Barwick st but they'd closed one of them off and filled it with rubbish, looked like quite a convincing post-apocalyptic scene to me.

hoody · June 14th, 2009, 08:11 PM

Edmund St, they had signs up on Friday informing of diversions.

In the original survivors, did they refer to Manchester in the show, I wonder if they will refer to Birmingham in the new series.

I'm spectical. I remember Grease Monkeys (BBC3) being filmed in Birmingham and passing it off as Manchester. Why?

Erebus555 · June 14th, 2009, 09:45 PM

Yeah Manchester was referred to - they travelled there as a couple of the characters came from there.

I don't know if this is the right place to put this, but yesterday there was a beautiful black horse and an old carriage parked at the end of Colmore Row and Victoria Square- not sure what was going on though!
