Capella247 Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 In my imagination the Gyptians all lived on star class working boats - not sure why, maybe the because of the butty Lyra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave123 Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 At first I thought it was at Amwell on the Lee but yes I think it was all on the G&S. Its a massive improvement on the movie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plato Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 Yes it’s most definitely the G&S . They paid CRT a substantial sum to have exclusive use of the canal from purton lower bridge down to sharpness . I happened to be moored at purton when a gaggle of BBC staff were scouting the location. Some local boaters were paid a tidy sum for the use of their heavily disguised boats in the footage.

We were held up for twenty minutes for a single take, and a chunk of the VMs as Sharpness were reserved, but otherwise the canal remained open. MP.

The Bearwood Boster Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 There was lots of activity/filming going on Summer 2018 when we were on the G&S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
