I've got the offer of a free ticket for this tonight. Should I go just to see what these things are like live?

'The Games' is being filmed at Don Valley Stadium (a friend of mine is up from London and is working on the production team).

This is something different. I saw it too - I'd be interested to know what they're doing.

I didn't go to Ponds Forge in the end and having seen it on telly I'm glad, it looked really rather dull!

as ive just found out:

the answer to damo_4_real's question is that the new Ian McKellan (Gandalf - LOTR) film "asylum" was being filmed in sheffield with period cars and using a street behind the NCPM
