  • 'Now' required

Ferris at school in the English countryside... Now identified as Brambletye School, East Grinstead by Duncan Gillies

Ferris at the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, Place de Carrousel, Paris.

I still don't quite understand how they achieved that angle and include the "urn". (RL)

  • 'Now' required

Ferris enjoys Parisian life.

She tries to shelter but is threatened to be moved on by museum guard . . . Manuel Gurtner spotted not Paris but London and Chiswick House.

I was lucky enough to have a nicer day of it. The south-eastern façade of Chiswick House, as approached from Burlington Lane W4. SJ

A familiar shot of the Seine and Notre Dame in Paris.

A familiar shot indeed. (RL)

A fuzzy one of the Thames, London W6.

Just east of the Blue Anchor public house, looking over to Barnes. SJ

This is just west of Hammersmith Bridge.

A few cosmetic changes. SJ

Straight into the sun shot in the morning with good old Hammersmith bridge in the background.

A cloudier day. SJ

Ferris and Drake depart for the continent from St Pancras in NW1, in the days of yore. It should have been Victoria at that time, shouldn't it?

But nowadays, after a spell a lengthy spell dpearting from Waterloo, they do depart from St Pancras. Life imitating art. SJ

  • 'Now' required

Now in Venice, the approach to the Accademia Bridge.

Ferris on the Accademia.

The Salute church in the background is on the extreme left of the film shot. The wooden railings clearly visible: this is the only wooden bridge in Venice, hence easy to spot, with thanks to Phil and Willi Gray who sent in this happy shot. (SJ)

  • 'Now' required

San Marco Piazza. Ferris forms a friendship with Hinnant travelling, or should that be traveling, from the USA.

  • 'Now' required

Dining now by the Rialto, Venice.

  • 'Now' required

Hinnant and Ferris further down the Grand Canal.

Andrews meets Ferris back from Venice at St Pancras.

Now after its refurbishment for Eurostar. SJ

Andrews and Ferris back at our favourite green bridge with her adopted child picked up in Italy (just like that!).

About the right spot. SJ

Riverbank residence as seen earlier but from a different angle.

Now. SJ

The view from the door: could be tricky to replicate.

Taken from the gate. The artistically-inclined beer cans just happened to be there and this is just before the Oxbridge boat race. SJ

  • 'Now' required

Villiers and Ferris at a church to prepare nuptials.

  • 'Now' required

Ferris in the graveyard.

A shot at low tide.

Taken from the bridge. SJ

Looking across to Barnes from the littoral.

Now, from slighter higher. SJ
