To be shown 9pm Sunday BBC4. Interesting climbing bits (we happened to be at Millstone when the crew was setting up) and the non-appearance (SPOILER-ALERT) of. . .








. . . TPS. Maybe not a great film, but still a fitting tribute to PP

In spite of the job being based near Sheffield, it looked like the pylon bits were filmed in Lancashire to me. Peel Tower at Ramsbottom in some of the shots.

Sadly it was a bit of a crap film though. No real characters and a terrible waste of Pete Postlethwaite's abilities.

The beginning sequence when the climbing dude has a gripper at the top of Covent Garden and then lets out a whoop of delight as he reaches the top sort of sets the standard for the climbing sequences - not the worst ever filmed though.

Three Pebble Slab disguised as one of the smaller walls at Burbage North is a low point.
