Although our Locations section is comprehensive,
there are some filming venues which remain persistently difficult to
nail down. This page is designed to collect together all the
unidentified sites from the individual episode pages, so that it is
possible to see them all in one place and make it clearer just which
ones we are still trying to track down.
Naturally, we at Randall and Hopkirk
(Declassified) welcome any pointers and identifications - and look
forward to hearing from you by email:
declassified.culttv@gmail.com. All identifications will be
fully credited to the finder(s).
Please note that Timings given are based on the Blu-ray editions.

UNKNOWN (12a)
(18:45) Close up of the

UNKNOWN LOCATION (12b)
(37:16) Jeff turns back and parks the Vauxhall in bushes.
Spotter's Note: We suspect that all these sequences may well have been filmed on

confirmation or otherwise.

UNKNOWN LOCATION (12c)
(43:32)
Establishing shot of a power station.
Spotter's Note: There are no real clues to
the real identify of this plant, but it looks like it might be a
refinery or chemical processing plant rather than a power
station.
The source is World Background
Back Plate BP1400.

THEN...

(43:34) The shot pans
around to the left to show a single storey pre-fabricated building

UNKNOWN CEMETERY or GRAVEYARD (25a)
(08:53) Jeff looks out
across the graveyard for the mystery man in costume.

(39:24) A view of the

|
|
UNKNOWN FUN FAIR (25c)
(49:14) A sign proclaims
Harry Mandrake's world record attempt.
Spotter's Note: Due to the very specific nature of this

visiting the locality of ABPC Studios. |

|

|
|
|
UNKNOWN SEA (26a)
(18:54) Establishing shot of
Rashid's ship at sea.

(26:12) Marty has indeed
driven to somewhere quiet. On a leafy country road he slams his
foot on the brake pedal. Jackson, taken unawares, flies forward

Marty then heads back to his and Jeannie's apartment.
Spotter's Note: This might possibly
have been filmed in the Burnham Beeches area. |

|
Image © ITV Studios, 1969 |
|
|
UNKNOWN STOCK
FOOTAGE (26c)
(44:59) With his tongue
firmly in cheek, Jeff implies that Marty sent for the cavalry.
Spotter's Note: This was bought-in
footage and as such would almost certainly have been shot for a
feature film. Identification of the film in question would be the
logical first step... |
