One of Birmingham's top roadside and retail property specialists
is to make a chance appearance in the concluding episode of BBC
One's Hustle series 7 being shown on Friday 11th February at
9pm.
Alfred Bartlett managing director of Bartlett Property will
appear as an extra in a scene with 'Albert Stroller' played by
Robert Vaughn filmed in the Mailbox, Birmingham.
The opportunity came about when Bartlett Property was tasked by
Kudos Film and Television - the producers of the hit BBC One drama
- to find a suitable location to film scenes for the new
series.
Bartlett Property negotiated a six-month temporary letting of a
76,205 sq ft modern production warehouse based at Stella House,
Talbot Way on Small Heath Business Park (Birmingham).
The 4.7 acre site marketed by DTZ was used to film scenes of the
con-artists' main meeting haunt in the show - Eddie's bar.
As an unexpected bonus, Kudos invited Bartlett and DTZ's
Jonathan Robinson to join the cast on-set for the day.
Alfred Bartlett managing director of Bartlett Property, said:
"It was interesting to be a part of the new series of Hustle and
meet the cast but I think I'll stick to the day job.
"We specialise in the acquisition, development, investment and
disposal of premier roadside, retail and trade park property on a
daily basis but this has to be one of the more unusual projects we
have undertaken for a client."

Jonathan Robinson, associate director at DTZ, added: "Stella
House provided a quality premise that was used effectively as a
base for Kudos offices. Its accessible location worked perfectly
for them whilst filming across the West Midlands region and we were
delighted to have been able to accommodate them."
Having played its role, the property is now back on the market
via agents DTZ.
