Students at Brasenose College expressed their frustration last week after scenes for a forthcoming sequel to My Fault: London were shot on the College’s grounds. At the time of filming some students were still sitting their preliminary exams.
Filming began on Monday 23rd June, with production crews descending on key locations, including the Old Quad, Porters’ Lodge, and Brasenose Hall.

Four Oxford students sat down to share how they feel about the state of the UK. From pensions to the NHS and Brexit, their answers were frank, frustrated, and sometimes surprisingly hopeful about how Britain could change direction.
