Police force Tatu to move schoolgirls video shoot (Ananova.Com)Time of publication: 07.05.2003 |
Tatu have been forced to move filming for their new video to another location after objections from police.
The duo had asked teenage fans to wear school uniforms for the shoot south of London's Westminster Bridge on Albert Embankment - opposite the Houses of Parliament.
A crowd of girls arrived for filming, but were turned away by a freelance camerawoman for the group, who said police had called the session off.
A Metropolitan Police spokeswoman said the event could have attracted too many people while Parliament was in session, causing an obstruction.
She said: "In addition, we were given a day's notice of the filming. The details were faxed through yesterday. It was not only going to have 100 extras there, but also the press.
"If the press were there then it would have gone out further that this was happening. You could have lots of fans turning up and that is undesirable.
"We are not here to veto filming but with 24 hours' notice and with it being in contravention of this order, it was deemed to be unsuitable."
The new location for filming was outside the Tate Modern in central London. Tatu fan Montana Manning, 16, from Putney, south west London, said: "I think all this is just a publicity stunt. Everyone is going to leave."
Debbie Charnley, 20, from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, added: "They have cancelled concerts and now this. It is beyond a joke now and they are kicking us when we're down."
