Bottle shows during Wagon Train

Many of the episodes ignore the wagon train entirely and follow one person as he leaves the wagon train and goes into a town where the plot happens. Why so many bottle shows ? Did they have cast problems ? Were they low on money ? StuRat (talk) 19:28, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wagon trains are pretty boring. The same setting for every episode of any TV show would be boring...for example, Star Trek, which was originally conceived as something like "Wagon Train in space", isn't always set on the ship. The only two episodes of I Love Lucy that I can think of right now are the one with the chocolates and the vitamin water or whatever it was, which aren't set in Lucy and Ricky's apartment. (And Friends, and Seinfeld, and any other show where the main set is someone's apartment, are often memorably set elsewhere.) Adam Bishop (talk) 09:53, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sex and the City original apt. of Carrie Bradshaw

I'm wondering who desinged Carrie Bradshaw's original apartment - I'm looking specifically for who made her bedding ensamble. Thanks! Cathleen (email address removed) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.27.236.106 (talk) 21:40, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The most relevant people involved with that would be the production designer and the set decorator(s). In this case, Jeremy Conway and Lydia Marks [1]. If you google the term "Sex and the city" in combination with "production design"/"set decoration" that will produce a lot of relevant hits. --DI (talk) 14:48, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Christopher And His Kind

I've just watched the last twenty minutes of this on BBC2, UK. 1) There was a scene in something like a cafe in what looked like a very large conservatory looking out to a lawn or greenery. One of the characters remarked it was in Kensington. Is there in fact such a place in Kensington or was it just imaginary? I know there is a roof garden I think in Kensington, but is there anything else at ground level? 2) Is this being repeated so that I can watch the front part of it? Thanks 92.24.178.214 (talk) 23:13, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The majority of the film was shot in Dublin. Don't forget Kensington Gardens is quite large, and you can watch it on iPlayer here. Nanonic (talk) 07:36, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It should be available on iPlayer for the next 7 days, if you're in the UK. --TammyMoet (talk) 09:52, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Is there in fact any posh/nice-looking cafe in Kensington Gardens or elsewhere where you can sit over-looking lawns and greenery? 92.28.241.202 (talk) 14:47, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps this one? - [2] Exxolon (talk) 19:31, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That looks very similar to the scene in the 'film'. Edit: after seeing it on iPlayer again, and being surprised by how explicit the film was particularly for the BBC, it was a somewhat similar sort of place, not the same place. 92.28.250.93 (talk) 22:50, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
