House

I was impressed by the first part of Sunday's BBC1 whodunnit What Remains - and spent much of the time trying to guess where the house (pretty much the central character of the plot) was in London. It's a big square mid-19th century villa - there are plenty similar on Highbury Hill, near me.

Turns out it's in Greenwich.

Even more impressive - the interior shots, so convincingly real and claustrophobic, in the
fashionable Scandawegian thriller-stylee, were actually filmed on sets constructed in Ealing and Wimbledon. Production designer Lisa Marie Hall tells the full story here.

The only obstacle to a BAFTA is a slight over-application of mascara on David Threlfall's lower lids in some scenes. Once you notice it, you can't stop...
