Filming at Didcot Parkway this morning?

« on: September 17, 2014, 21:42:28 »

There were two large lorries containing Panalux lighting equipment and 2-3 smaller vans parked in the delivery bays of the new forecourt. I didn't spot any cameras or film crew - does anyone know what's going on?

Apparently filming a new Agatha Christie drama staring David Walliams for the BBC^» at Didcot Railway Centre.
They have been there all week and given the amount of equipment and people (at the station and at the football club) looks like they might be here for a while.

Yes Endor Productions have put up directions signs all over Didcot to stop their people getting lost.

Walliams is playing Tommy Beresford.
