| The TV series "Hustle", currently on BBC1 on Friday evenings, has featured some scenes from Birmingham. | ||
| What my family thought | We thought the over-done Brummie accent on the first episode (of this series) was very funny - we had a good laugh every time she came on. | |
| Scenes of Birmingham | In general, the scenes of Birmingham are well chosen, and a credit to the City. Of course, the first episode was set here, and so showed various places around Birmingham. Episode 2 featured a mock auction. The outside was one of the buildings in Margaret Street, in the City Centre, near the Council House and Art Gallery. The interior was Highbury House, about 3 miles south, and the former home of the Chamberlain family. I hope the BBC has included some other Birmingham landmarks in this series. There are many to choose from. Assuming that we shall see more of Birmingham, I look forward to seeing Soho House and the Museum of the Jewellery Quarter, amongst others. | |
| I hope to post some photos of the parts of Birmingham seen in Hustle during the next few weeks. |   The cafe to the left was the setting for one of the scenes in the first episode. | Robert, blog owner |
My private blog to help visitors find the smaller hotels which cost less than City Centre hotels. (Not the official web site of any organisation.) This is because I think Birmingham is a good place to stay. This blog is not commercial and there is no charge for any hotel or visitor. For general information and first hotels listed go to OLDEST POSTS. Photo - Birmingham skyline. DISCLAIMER Most of these hotels are listed from the telephone directory and I have no information on quality.
