I’m pretty sure I saw them filming that last year outside one of the hotels in Lancaster Gate. It was after an evening session down the ol’ Moulin Rouge and I hung around to see what happened.
About half a dozen takes for probably 20 seconds of screen time with a whole army of fluffers, muffers, best boys, grips, whips, body doubles, stand-ins, extras etc.
All to get a shot of Billie Piper coming out of the hotel, walking away and pulling off a wig.
Felt like telling the director that if he wanted some really good material he should drop in at a basement a couple of hundred yards up the road!
Gawd knows where they’d put all the flunkies and production team, though. And who would be Biggie’s body double?
