Cinnamon Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 There has been a lot of filming around the area lately & I can usually work out what it is by the location markers they use............MM - Miss Marple,FY - Foyles War & so on. But for the last week OMF has been everywhere, & none of us can think what it can be The crews are all over the place, but I haven't had the chance to ask what it is they are filming.It is pretty big, as I have never seen so many location markers ,lights & cameras around here for one thing before Any ideas?

Looney Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Sorry, just re-read and that's what you are trying to find out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 It is a bit confusing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I'm very easily confused I can only think of Our Mutual Friend (Charles Dickens?) but hasn't that already been done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Yes but could be a different channle After all the Austens were redone coul dit be something new we don't know about yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susanbb Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 So sorry, but I haven't got a Scooby-doo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 Don't think its "Our Mutual Friend" as it has been shot in fairly modern locations. Girls Aloud were in Henley this week fliming part of the new St Trinians movie - wouder if its that (although how those letters relate I have no idea) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 We've got the BBC moving in to Banbury this week - they've taken over a super restaurant called Veritas and it's going to be some sort of reality TV thing, although I'm not sure what.

Tom and Barbara Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Open Media Framework is a filming term I know but can't think of any program with those initials..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 Just a quick update. I never did find out what OMF was, but was driving about a mile away from my home earlier & got pulled over & asked to cut the car engine as they were filming a Poirot up the way. It was at the same site as before, where they also filmed most of that Fanny Hill thing which has just been on. I will let you know if I bump into David Suchet in Tesco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I hear that the Fanny Hill thing is saucy.. can't get BBC 4 here though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Haven't got a clue what OMF could be They film round here as well, mainly Doctors and Dalziel and Pascoe, which I never watch. Turns out the BBC have a unit in a little industrial park just 400 yards from me, near where I do my sloe picking We would never warrant anything as posh as Poirot or Jane Austen though, it's more like Coronation Street with front gardens round here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Well OMF isnt the initials of any Agatha Christie. I really would love to know what it is though. Maybe its the initials of a single episode and thats why we cant work it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 (edited) I will let you know if I bump into David Suchet in Tesco I spotted a "celebrity" today. Was shopping at the Cheadle Royal outlet and Jimmi Harkishin who plays Dev Alahan in Coronation Street was in front of the person in front of me in the queue.

The Dogmother Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I used to work in Oxford and they were always filming Inspector Morse in the old area near my office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Dev Alahan is quite a regular at the Hand & Trumpet pub near to Wrinehill! He's got friends in Shavington, he once told us! Clarissa DIckson from ' two fat ladies' is a regular in the Chomondley Arms pub most nights! Once saw Gareth Gates in a pub in Wales shortly after his fame moment. His mates were all calling him Gary & he paid the bill for all of his mates. 3 very posh cars came to pick them up. We were fascinated!!! he he Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 I once saw Liam Gallagher buying jam in our Tesco. I have seen AWT (*shudder*) Carol Decker,John Humphries, Boris Johnson & Michael Heseltine in our local one too I ALWAYS try to take a sneaky peek into their baskets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocolatedog Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 OMF also stands for Overseas Missionary Fellowship I think - but that's hardly going to be the case here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I used to work in Charterhouse Square in London. Its where Poirot lives - the mansion block was the building next to our offices! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 I think its really interesting,the way they film movies & TV shows Down to Earth was mostly filmed in Dartmouth,Devon, opposite near to my Mums house at the time, but the garage they used,which was supposed to be in the same town, was 100 yards from my house. They also used Henley town hall exterioir for their local town hall, but used an interioir with sea views,in Dartmouth. It is a business I would have loved to be involved in - I am certainly organised enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
