where was it actually made?


The film is set in a fictional London suburb,someone here will know where it was really set?

Given the fact that it only cost £100,000 I take it it was all done on location.

I've seen Harlow and Hounslow suggested in various reviews. I work on housing estates in Hounslow and didn't recognise any of the locations (not conclusive, true), also there were no planes coming into land (Hounslow borders Heathrow). Writer/director Eran Creevy is from Harlow (Shifty is based on someone he knew), so that would be my best guess.

I used to want to change the world. Now I just want to leave the room with a little dignity.

Filming took place in and around the Borehamwood/Elstree area.

The production offices were at Elstree Studios.
