OmegaConsort Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 Did anyone see this two part film (a remake on the old original) over Christmas? I thought it was very gripping! Anyway, in part two, the two chaps stumbled upon a convent. There were many external shots of the abbey church and one or two internals.....I couldn't place it at first and am still not sure (there was nothing in the credits). I have a feeling it might be the Abbey Church of St Cross in Winchester - along with their alms houses..... Any takers? Richard
madorganist Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 I also wondered where the church was. Given the carnage that the Triffids were inflicting upon the blind remnants of society, I was mildly amused to see that the church had a fully functioning organ and robed boys choir. Overall I thought it was a pretty poor show, although Eddie Izzard was rather good

John Robinson Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 Yes....I spotted the organ working too - and it was not long after they discussed trying to get the electricity working and decided not to! It could have been someone jumping up and down on the bellows, I suppose. Sorry, although I watched it too I have no idea where it is.
