(03:50) The Jennings gang
discuss the Rodens.
Spotter's Note: The 'Now' photo shown
to the right was taken in September 2018. A month later, the
Ernest Bevin ferry boat seen in Randall and Hopkirk
(Deceased) was retired after 55 years' service. It had been
built in Dundee in 1963 and was one of the three diesel boats that
replaced the old paddle steamers used on the Woolwich Ferry since
1889. Each boat was named after a prominent local politician, her
sister ships being the John Burns and the James Newman.
All three could carry 500 foot passengers and 200 vehicles and
were withdrawn from service on 5th October 2018. The Ernest Bevin
was sold for scrap and broken up in France in November 2018. After a four
month suspension of the service, they were replaced by two new boats,
the Ben Woollacott (named after a 19-year-old ferry worker
who had died in a docking incident in 2011) and the Dame Vera Lynn. |

(07:34) Jeff and Jeannie
walk back to the car only to find a stranger - George Roden -
getting out of their car. He apologises, saying that he has
mistaken Jeff's car for his own. He departs, but soon Jeff and
Jeannie realise that the stranger has left something behind - a

(09:29) Viewing from above,
the camera pulls back to reveal ambulance staff transferring the

Spotter's Note: This
sequence was not, as one might assume, shot at the studio car
park seen in the establishing shot. It was specially staged in
the area between the former water tank and the boundary fence,
as the production photo demonstrates.
Since Filming: This area
remains a part of the studio complex and until recently bordered
the Big Brother House, which was demolished in November 2018
after that series ceased production at the studios.

building seen in this sequence was built in 1912 and demolished
in the mid-1970s, with a modern replacement police station
opening on the site in 1976. It closed for the last time in
December 2017, a result of a decision by the Mayor of London to

(11:50) As Jeff and Jeannie
discuss her disquiet about the evening's events, Mike and Mort
pull up in their Ford Galaxie across the road.
Spotter's Note: This shot
is a camera cheat, as the Galaxie pulls up on Jeannie's side of
the road (outside house numbers 158-174), but in terms of the narrative, is supposedly parking
on the opposite side. We believe this was
decided upon because of the way in which one side of the road is
bathed in sunshine on bright days (as was the case on the day of
filming). This sequence was shot day-for-night so it would have
been beneficial to shoot the other way round to avoid sunlit
areas as much as possible. |

doubt dictated by where the crew could get permission to film from,
but it's ironic that the shot we see is actually of the entrance to
Jeannie's apartment! |

1967 which were dubbed the 'Super Straths' as part of the
promotional campaign for the new vessels. It was a cargo vessel
that could also accommodate a small number of fare-paying
passengers. The ship was sold to Thailand in 1979, where it was
renamed Benjamas. It is believed to have been
decommissioned. |

accused of stealing books from Islington library, and the Kray

money with menaces. After its closure its interiors were used in

PALACE OF WESTMINSTER
LONDON SW1A
(filmed from
ALBERT EMBANKMENT
LAMBETH

(42:43) Establishing early
morning shot of the Palace of Westminster.
Spotter's Note: This side of
the Palace of Westminster faces roughly due East and is therefore
illuminated by sun in the early morning. The position of the sun
in the original shot proves that this footage must actually have
been filmed at sunset.

Identified by:
Stephen Carter, March 2002 |

since it re-opened in 1980 as a shopping centre with cafes, pubs,
small shops and a craft market called the Apple Market.

The Avengers - 'Warlock'
