Harrow Road

Well, Byfield had a record for drug dealing, crack cocaine, and was known in the streets by the nickname Blacker.

He was living in a hostel-style bedsit in the Harrow Road area of Brent, North London, the kind of place where residents and visitors come and go at all hours.

And Tony-Anne thought that this man was her real father?

He wasn't her biological father, but she thought he was her dad.

But what I was doing was preserving a crime scene for forensic opportunity.

Now, in this case, it was a bed set.

It was a bed set of Kensal Rise off the Harrow Road.

So it was not going to interfere with anyone if we closed that scene down and kept it for as long as we possibly could.

They filmed at the actual Paddington Green police station.

And they shot scenes on Harrow Road, Ladbroke Grove and around the Grand Union Canal.

Real places with real grit.

So how does that physical change of location, you know, shooting on a real street versus a painted set, actually change the psychological experience for the audience sitting in the theater?

Yeah, because I learned it, like copying the guy's shadow boxing.

And anyway, so when I moved to Chamberlain Road, at the bottom of the crossroads before you go over to Lapbrook Grove is the Harrow Road.

That Harrow Road, the club is still there.

It's called All Stars Boxing Club, amateur club.

It's still there.

It's still there.

So I walked down.

I asked people, where is there a boxing club? They said, oh, there's one, Harrow Road.

So that's the way I was living, everything.

I lived over a pub in the Harrow Road in London for two and a half years.

Wow,

wow.
