Re: Green Street.  I missed it and wondered if they included the bits filmed in a house in Clifden Road?Ruth

Speaking to one of the Butts' residents yesterday, I was told his house was used for front door shots, because it was the house Beatrix Potter's publisher supposedly lived in. At least he got the door brasswork polished afterwards!

We'll have to set up one of those Beverley Hills-style tours. They can see The Butts, the pub smashed up by West Ham fans in Green Street, the outside bit of Holby City Hospital that blew up, er, the newsagents in that Sky advert and loads more. I will get a map prepared this affy.

Will they still be there at the weekend and has Ewan McGregor actually been filming in Brentford this week and I've missed him! Tell me it isn't so.

Thanks for the info. I checked it out on IMDB.com. It's "Miss Potter" due for release next year:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0482546/It's always good to see Brentford on the map!

It is a film about Beatrix Potter starring Ewan McGregor & Renee Zellweger........I've been told that the filming tomorrow will be in Osterley Park if The Butts scenes are done.

yes, it's a film of something to do with Beatrix Potter...for the cinema not for tv...I walked through there this morning it looked magical with loads of actors in costume and vintage cars, too. Hope they're there tomorrow to show my son after school.
