Joe Foster 0 Posted October 12 Report Share Posted October 12 Hi Everyone, I'm collecting old photos and video to do with Pidcock Motorcycles for our anniversary. I was told that the TV series Boon did some filming in Long Eaton with someone buying a motorcycle from our store. I want to pin down the series and episode - and hopefully acquire a video clip. I have a theory that, based on a colleagues search, it might be series 6 episode 11, but I'm not 100% sure. Any Boon enthusiasts who can help? Thanks very much in advance.

If that is correct, according to Wiki the episode is titled 'Bad Pennies'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 9,255 Posted October 17 Report Share Posted October 17 Series 1 Episode 12 is probably not Long Eaton. The early series were made in Birmingham; it didn't come to Nottingham until Series 4. And when did Pidcock Motorcycles start in Long Eaton ? Looking at old telephone directories, there is no Pidcock Motorcycles listed there at least up to 1984. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,706 Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 Incidentally my ex wife had an aunt who owned a posh house in Ruddington. Manor Park I think. That house was used by Central TV for filming in the Boon series. Aunt was paid £400 per day when filming. A nice wedge in those days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
