And we’re back in Monson Road in New Cross again. We completely shut down the road around the Duke Of Albany pub while shooting this scene. One of the reasons we chose the Duke Of ...

Still in the gardens. And above you can see a couple of gags that we did not manage to shoot. There was another sequence where the gang ran through peoples gardens and saw a hanged ...

Still in the conjoined gardens in Northumberland Road in Barnet and today was the day we impaled the ‘Pyjama Zombie’ to a tree with a swing ball. I love doing scenes in people’s back gardens ...
