LizzieM 9,507 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Yes, I've been watching it and enjoyed looking at our lovely city. I saw Stephen Tomkinson (?) interviewed on the telly the other day, I think it may have been on BBC Breakfast or the One Show, and he said that the Market Square scene where he stripped off was shot on a Sunday morning, Fathers Day to be exact. He had to take his kit off 7 times til they got it right! Yes that was the old Victoria Club building, Tantra's doorway was in shot just up the street. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colly0410 1,181 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 When the car crashed into the lion, it was a very gentle bumps-a-daisy so as not to cause any damage, lol.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob.L 1,088 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Must admit those trucks must move bloody fast, to get into town as quick as they did, AND find somewhere to park up. Was fun playing spot the locations though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Enigma. 1,533 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 It was filmed entirely in and around the city over a six week period during early summer. Locations included Hockley, Carlton, St Ann’s, Cossall, Wollaton Park and Eastwood, where the trucking firm is based. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 I walked up Exchange Walk one day in the summer and crossed over to the Council House where there was a sign stating that filming was in progress and if one didn't want to be on the telly then don't walk across the front of the building. So I won't spot myself because I chose to do a detour! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SeanF 12 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 I watched "Truckers" tonight, as did some of my mates here in Ireland, and I've been inundated with messages how great the City of Nottingham looked. It makes me all the more appreciative of the city I was born in. The episode was good, had a few laugh out moments, just hope episode two goes from strength to strength. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 I did notice that he lives on one of either First or Second Avenues in Carlton, a bit more to the right and you'd have seen my Mums house! When he stopped to have 'the work done' that was in Netherfield! SWMBO recognised that bit , and she's only ever been there a couple of times !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Nice one Billy, I notice the Nott'm humour was certainly in there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted October 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Did anyone notice, towards the end, the young female lorry driver arrived back and got out of her lorry.. It was raining and the ground was wet... except under the lorry she had just driven? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bamber 128 Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 I did notice that he lives on one of either First or Second Avenues in Carlton, a bit more to the right and you'd have seen my Mums house I would have said that it was Ernest Road towards the top. And, as always, I have to mark the actors' attempts at a Nottingham accent. Tompkinson got some of it but still needed more coaching from a local. So I shall give him 6/10.

Pixie 162 Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Just watched it on catch up. Me and my partner had a debate of were the house was located, he said arnold somewhere cos they are a similar style to redhill... I said carlton, bonus I won - wheldon's playing field in the distance was a big give away and as an ex pupil I noticed it Then we noticed colwick as he drove past the petrol place, gotham I think the other half said as he used to take the short cut into Clifton when he was a driver on his way home. Netherfield, obviously. I remember seeing a sign but I can't remember what exactly it said and I can't believe no one mentioned filming taking place! Then again it was only a glimpse. The club/bar was gatecrasher. Hate that place. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 I did notice one bit when he was having his 'breakdown' that he drove into towards town over Ladybay bridge then out again over Gunthorpe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
