EAGLE-eyed viewers watching the powerful drama It s a Sin may have spotted some familiar sights. Channel 4 s critically acclaimed five part series may be set in London but key scenes were actually filmed in Bolton town centre and Bolton School.
TV crews rolled into Le Mans Crescent to shoot a protest march, with the London skyline superimposed over the background with St Paul s Cathedral tucked behind the crescent. School corridors at Bolton School became the corridors of power as it was transformed into the Houses of Parliament for the series with scenes starring Stephen Fry. Adele Hughes of Bolton School Weddings and Events said: “Bolton School was delighted to be used as a backdrop in the filming of It’s a Sin and to host Stephen Fry, Omari Douglas and the cast.
