Talk:Cricklewood Studios

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is proposed that this article be deleted as "Cricklewood Studios" was a spoof documentary presented by the humourist and comedy actor Peter Capaldi.

It is also proposed that link 9: "Films made at Cricklewood Film Studios" in the Wiki article Cricklewood should be deleted.

See the BBC spoof documentary: www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2011/07_july/27/cricklewood.shtml [1]

Quote: "Note: Cricklewood Film Studios is fictional, and every frame of footage has been lovingly restored from the vaults of Capaldi's fertile imagination."

In the interest of Wiki accuracy this article should be deleted along with any other references to Cricklewood Studios in this context.

When I first saw this article, I quite agreed with you. But then I discovered that the article had merely become very muddled, merging the history of a genuine film studio with Capaldi's fictional one. I hope it's clearer now.
I was alerted by further confusion in Victoria Coren Mitchell, which claimed that she'd "grown up next door to Cricklewwod Studios". I deleted that,[2] wrongly claiming the studios were fictional. However I'll let my deletion stand, as the genuine Cricklewood Studios had closed decades earlier; the reference might be to the minor and short-lived Production Village.[3] NebY (talk) 13:08, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
