Emmerdale

Nice new 'postman' break bumper just now on end of part 1.

Nice to see that emmerdale have made an effort to shoot some Christmas break bumpers, nice shot of a holly bush outside the pub. They've made more of an effort than the itv brand!!

Emmerdale keeps switching from a dodgy filmic look shot to 50i (TV Look) in the same scene....

Yeah, I noticed that too

I can't help but notice Home Farm looks totally different in this pic

Surely that can't still be Creskeld Hall? Isn't it a listed building?

Looks the same to me. Could be wrong though.

What was it that they set fire to at Christmas? A replica, or the real thing?

I doubt they set a listed building on fire.

That's what I'm thinking. Did they start to use a replica with the fire storyline?

Creskeld was 'extended' with a fake section, which was destroyed in the fire where Roy Glover died, so they have set fire to it in the past.

Someone on Digital Spy posted this article from some roofing company

So it seems like they've stopped using Creskeld after all, I can't say I blame them, as it'll cost less, be more convinent for filming scenes at, not to mention, they can actually make changes to the building itself now.
