Hi Alan
I think they chose that school because it was closing, so it gave them an empty building to film in. Am I right? Maybe they are regretting it now though. I suppose they wanted somewhere realistic.
Sometimes film crews can be a nuisance in areas where thay do a lot of filming. My daughter used to get really fed up when they were constantly filming ''Last of the Summer Wine'' where she lives. They would often close roads, and cause traffic chaos. I was once an extra in the series though, so it had its good points
My school days were very happy, in an all-girls school where we had some inspirational teachers who gave me the foundations of my education. I am eternally grateful, and I think I was very lucky.

Yes, I watch it. It's turned into more of a drama-soap these days.
They did film more on the estate in the early days didn't they. You've never been an extra on it then?! Like Joan in Last of the Summer Wine? I have to say I only like the theme tune of Last of the Summer Wine, the actual programme drives me nuts.
My school days - enjoyed first and middle school more than secondary. The quality of the teachers affected how much you enjoyed and/or learnt in different subjects. Went on the be a teacher myself, so can't have been too bad!!
SpeedyI have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.0 -
My kids love this programme.
I will tell them - they will be really interested.
Love

I watch it Alan
I find it interesting as my daughter has
taught in schools like this, and certainly
has some tales to tell.
Not bad storylines actually and
there are lots of areas like that
around here, over the other side
of the Pennines.
