How Self Storage In East London Can Impact Our Favourite TV Shows
Globally, self storage has become a reputable industry, offering a range of storage options for both personal and business use in recent years. It’s fair to say that we will all use self storage at one time in our lives. Whether it’s for decluttering your home or storing belongings in the process of moving house, it’s an extremely secure and useful facility to know about.
Even our favourite series’ are endorsing storage units! Have you noticed just how much they feature in key scenes for TV and Netflix? Although it might seem like a fairly menial subject, self storage has actually been the backdrop for a number of major TV moments. At Store That, we have selected some of our favourites.
BREAKING BAD
Yes, the groundbreaking American crime drama, Breaking Bad features self storage throughout the series. We’ve all heard the tale of Walter White, a chemistry teacher that turns to the drug trade after being diagnosed with cancer. This show received huge critical acclaim, 16 international awards and has been widely regarded as one of the greatest TV shows of all time.
There is a significant moment at the end of the series that features a drive-up unit. When Skylar pulls down the shutter, she unveils heaps of cash, the enormity of Walter’s illegal activities is captured in full.
Those who have seen the series will know Walter looks to provide for his family after learning he is terminally ill. The skilled chemist soon discovers that his profession has taught him a particular set of skills that will make him and his family incredibly rich. Who would’ve thought self storage would play such a fundamental part in a world famous TV series?
ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES
We all love this classic British sitcom surrounding the infamous duo Del Boy and Rodney. One of our favourite scenes from Only Fool And Horses features the London lads, as they unearth an antique pocket watch in old self storage in east London. The 1996 Christmas special, Time on our Hands, sees the boys secure a fortune of millions after selling the precious watch.
As you can probably guess, the money ends up down the drain in no time and they’re left empty handed, seeking another day in the sun.
HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER
This popular American show is a story of friendship, love and lifestyle choices. It follows a group of six friends on their path to adulthood. The protagonist, Ted Mosby, relays every detail of the journey to his two children.
In the episode Farhampton, a storage unit plays host to a tender moment in the rollercoaster of a love story between Barney and Robin. Robin tells Barney that she is disappointed with the lack of sensitivity he showed during their breakup; as he insists he threw all of her belongings out. However, it comes to light that he actually invested in a sea container rental to store Robin’s possessions in. A happy ending after all, well sort of.
