Did anyone see the ITV1 adaptation of John O'Farrell's novel 'May Contain Nuts' set in Clapham? I think its portrayal of clapham was far from accurate and did not mirror the novel's. The Clapham highstreet scene was filmed on a different highstreet and not clapham. It was about a middle class family hemmed into this gated development surrounded by council estates everywhere. Anyone not in the know would think Clapham was the great Walworth estate in Elephant and castle. The book referred to Battersea comprehensive while the film called it Clapham Comprehensive. Very Funny but the lead actor was terrible.
