Since Filming: Oxford House
and the other blocks in the same development have recently been

Spotter's Note: The shots of Jeff

Since Filming: The Randall and Hopkirk offices are long gone, demolished in August 1985 to make way for a new development. The grass verge seen in the 1993
photograph represents the approximate point at which the
offices stood. This too has also now gone and Jeff and Marty's
offices are now under concrete, following the building in 1996
of a new shopping centre.
