"Underground Car Park"

UNDERGROUND CAR PARK
ELSTREE STUDIOS
SHENLEY ROAD

Identified by:
Mike Richardson |
(00:02) Tully drives into
the underground car park and parks up. He is expecting to meet
Jeff Randall – but is instead confronted by Jarvis, who shoots
him dead.
Since Filming: When the
Elstree Studios site was taken on by Elstree and Borehamwood
Council in the 1990s, the car park needed £250,000 worth of
remedial work to fix leaks and asbestos problems. Today it
remains in use and still retains its appearance, familiar from
so many ITC and ABPC programmes of the 60s and 70s.

(27:30) The fake Jeff arrives
outside the offices.
(27:41) He gets out of the
car, watched by the police. Inspector Large follows him into the
building.
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.

(05:00) The camera pans and
follows the Vauxhall as it slows to park up.
Since Filming: A road
(seemingly never named) used to
run through the ground floors of the Metropolis House building
(as seen in the 'Then' photo, right). This has now been closed
off and the building has expanded to fill the space. Thanks to
Craig Robins, we are able to present a shot of the remainder of
the road, taken from Windmill Street (which runs parallel with
Percy Street), below. Metropolis
House was renamed in 2005 and is now a branch of the HSBC Bank and its main entrance is
on Tottenham Court Road.

The grassed triangle still remains
but has to the foreground of this shot been worn away to bare
earth by cars parking and turning.
