Think most tv and film use exterior sources for filming these daysbeen on 2 sites where films where shot, only findig out later. Its just a matter of searching

Actually, almost none of it is done on a set at all. The bunker scenes were shot at Paddock, the Alternative cabinet war room at Dollis Hill, which is now mostly run by Sub Brit; as Senor Catford said in a recent email to the SB faithful;

A reminder that Paddock will feature in the BBC3 drama 'The Fades' tonight
at 9pm and also in next Wednesdays episode.

If you haven't seen its a rather strange mix of horror, science fiction and
comedy.

It is an adult drama with bad language, murder, torture, zombies etc. so it
won't be everybody's cup of tea but it will be interesting toe see Paddock
in a new light. I believe one of the undead gets tied to the MDF with lots
of slime flying around.

If nothing else the series has included a number of interesting derelict
buildings including one of the Highgate railway tunnels last week and an
abandoned shopping centre in off the Edgware Road in the first episode.


So some Highgate tunnel action as well... I seem to remember some people doing a report on that site a while back
