BBC’s “Hustle” Starts Filming in City Centre
Filming of the new series of BBC's Hustle has got underway in Birmingham city centre. The drama relocated to the city earlier this year along with Survivors.
The Council claim the show will boost the city's economy by £1.2m. I'm all for raising the profile of the city and challenging the poor reputation that still exists, but I'd love to know how the figure of £1.2m was calculated!
New TV Station for Birmingham
The Stirrer reveals plans for a new TV station for the city. The trailer sums everything up well and there seems to be some good industry folk involved.
The trailer promises "local politics and business news" which could make for some interesting times ahead.
One thing I would like to see is the children of the city given the opportunity to get involved. Budding media stars in Ladywood are already given the opportunity to learn about presenting and producing shows through the fantastic TNT Ladywood - how I'd love to see this transferred to the TV.
Surviving on Newhall Street
This was the state of Newhall Street today as the filming of the post-apocalyptic drama Survivors rolled into the city. My friend who took the photo said, "I've never seen such clean rubbish"...
