Says they were going over 1hr, but they don't even seem to have got as far the flats, all looks like the beginning of the Horse Level to me.

The plan was to go to The Ballroom, but they realised that this was a little too far to carry the batteries for the cameras etc. If you look closely, you will see parts of Carrs level cut into the Smallcleugh filming.

There has also been some underground filming for a new programme in 2012 - probably something like Heritage at Risk, which may feature Carrs level.

Also possibly some filming from Tynebottom may appear in another programme.

Lets hope the film companies are paying handsomly for the access :thumbup:

They are paying in the same way as everyone who visits the mines at Nenthead

Is that an ITV one ?
I might have put them onto you about 6 months ago.

The ITV one is a programme for the series "The Adventurers Guide to Great Britain" and it was filmed in Tynebottom. Should be on at 7.30pm on weeknight later in the year. About midway through the series apparently.

Thats the one they contacted me about for ideas and I pointed them in the direction of the NPHT and CATHMS.
