The Southern Daily Echo, a local paper that covers Hampshire, reports that the crew filming the BBC adaptation of Waugh’s novel Decline and Fall has moved from Cardiff to Winchester and is filming on location at Winchester College. According to the Echo:
Comedian Whitehall was spotted on set yesterday as filming began in and around Winchester College for the series, which also stars David Suchet. However, fans hoping to get a glimpse of Desperate Housewives star Longoria are set to be disappointed as she returned to the United States after filming in Cardiff was completed earlier this month…Scenes for the production are being filmed in College Street, St Lawrence in the Square and inside Winchester College. The Daily Echo arrived at the set before filming began yesterday and saw double yellow lines being painted over. A spokesman for Winchester College said: “It is very exciting. Everyone loves it because it is a little bit different and because Winchester is quiet and private, and they to do it without having hordes of people around.”
The story is accompanied by a gallery of photos taken on location, many showing the actors in their period costumes.
