This episode prodons mentioned is also available to watch here https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6xac7p Thanks for sharing that one! I can't get the UKTV to play over here, but I can certainly watch Daily Motion. My dad used to see the actors regularly when he was driving around the area. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iris123 20,990 Posted January 30, 2022 The Bill filmed down our road in Colliers Wood once. Had a big canteen bus parked there for a couple of days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
salty 2,202 Posted January 30, 2022 Working and living around South London used to come across The Bill being filmed all the time. They used to use a Caff on Earlsfield Road and an independent bookies off London Road in Tooting. They also used a place I'd lived in Roehampton. Didn't go down to well with the owner when it was depicted as a drug den. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chunky 6,095 Posted January 30, 2022 You know, when you consider it's been over 30 years since we shut down, I do wonder how many people I knew from the stadium are no longer with us. People like Tufty, and several fans who were getting on in years then, but I'm sure there are others who have been lost way too young, like Linda Aldous. Even if you didn't know their names, they were part of the whole experience... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
