[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 417996, member: 23"] Oh God yes. Allowing one's property to be used this was is a bit of a gamble, I suppose. Most of the time it comes to nothing, but occasionally it will get indelibly attached to a hit. Since it was filmed so extensively, I'd hope the Duncans were at least paid something to soften the blow, but I doubt it would be enough to make it an attractive prospect for that level of visibility. Having my privacy invaded daily by strangers comes close to my idea of hell. My closest frame of reference for this is a couple of decades ago when a relative contacted me to say they'd spotted my old bedroom - an unusually-shaped room, which I'd painted a very distinctive colour - in an episode of a popular, long-running drama series here. This was perhaps a year after I'd moved out, but apparently after I'd left someone had accepted some money from the BBC for its use. I never did see the episode, but even knowing it was out there was enough to give me an uncomfortable feeling. [/QUOTE]
