Please try not to disturb the locals too much, it must be awful having strangers hanging around all the time.

I thought cast members were told not to stop for people anymore?

I agree, I'd find it really annoying. But some people don't think about things like that, as long as they get what they want.

Have you ever been? I have (only once), there were many people there but nobody got in the way of the natives who were not at all fazed or bothered about the people standing outside. In fact they were quite friendly and welcoming.

Well when I went in October one of the people who lives in the house next to where the people who go stand were talking to some of the people from their garden.

No I haven't but I've read in several places about how fed up some of the residents are.

Well people are still waiting. IMO it would be better if they could have open days once a month when 6 cast members sign autographs and have photos took with the fans of the show.

Ive been to Elstree to watch Strictly Come Dancing and if its the same entrance that MG stands outside of to see EE folk then there arent a great deal of houses there!

yes, its up a residential side street BUT once past the few houses, there is a large-ish turning area and an open green space and a small path up the middle of it

I'd love to go myself. I'm the sure the locals will be friendly and Mormon Girl will hopefully have a great time.

I agree with this. It would mean that cast members wouldn't be accosted on their way to and from work also. I work in a town centre and whenever I go out during my lunch break I'm always accosted by someone wanting me to buy something, donate to a charity or whatever. I find it really annoying so goodness knows what cast members think when they're accosted by groups of people.

Ive only been once - sorry! no idea what the road was called but its just off the main road, near an Ibis Hotel............. one side of the street is residential houses and the other side was a car park I think and at the top of the street was a community hall or something and then an open green space

They are filmed at different studios, only EE and Holby are filmed at the studios at Clarendon road which is about a ten minute walk from the IBIS hotel.
