Boy Who Turned Yellow, The (Children’s Film Foundation)

Outside the school that John Saunders and his friends attend, a sign warns parents not to drive into the grounds. King Alfred School, Manor Wood, North End Lane NW11. (SR)

A driver ignores the sign as pupils follow the car. King Alfred School. (SR)

On a school visit to the Tower of London, John Saunders (Mark Dightam) gets his pet mouse Alice out of her box as he walks with his friend Munro (Lem Dobbs). Tower Green within the Tower of London EC3.

Peter found that the cannons have been relocated.

John hands Munro the mouse's box when he realises that Alice has escaped. The south-east corner of the Inner Ward with the White Tower visible in the right distance. Various parts of the Tower are seen in 'No Place for Jennifer', 'The Jokers' and 'Two Weeks in September'.

Taken from a higher position but showing the background wall, Peter came across this shot hiding in his camera.

Munro looks back for John as the Teacher (Laurence Carter) counts his pupils as they leave the Tower. Through the archway leading to Tower Wharf stands Tower Bridge.

If the toilets aren't new then the signs are.(RL)

Back at school, John is sent home after falling asleep in class.

The youngster enters the platform at Chalk Farm station to catch the train home. The disused Aldwych branch platform at Holborn station in London WC2, also seen in 'Tube Tales', 'The Last Train', 'The Gentle Gunman' and 'Piccadilly Third Stop'.

On the journey, John, a fellow passenger and the train are inexplicably turned yellow. The disused Aldwych branch platform at Holborn station once again.

A shocked John runs from the station as passers by watch in amazement. The junction of Heath Street, Holly Hill and Hampstead High Street in NW3.

Nothing so exciting for Peter to capture. (RL)

John speeds towards Hampstead Heath, knocking a Delivery Boy off his cycle on the way. Flask Walk in Hampstead, just along from a scene shot for 'Smashing Time'.

Whilst in Hampstead Peter sped to the same location only to find street clutter has accumulated. (RL)

Apologising to the Delivery Boy, John continues to run. Willow Road NW3, between Gayton Road and Gayton Crescent. This section of road was also seen in 'The Monster of Highgate Ponds'.

Not running, Peter continued the same path witnessing that there were new windows to the property on the left. (RL)

Hampstead Heath is crossed.

Christchurch Hill in NW3 seen from the corner of Willow Road.

Peter found yellow lines instead. (RL)

John runs past his next door neighbour, Mrs. Price. Opposite the East Heath on Willow Road in Hampstead.

Maybe Mrs Price was hiding behind the wall from Peter. (RL)

Reaching the safety of home, John rings the doorbell before climbing in through the window. Willow Road in NW3.

Peter confirmed that he had the correct door by the black brick to the left under the red brick courses. (RL)

That night, John meets a strange electronic being named Nic (Robert Eddison) and the two return, via electricity, to the Tower of London to find Alice.

Difficult to see but we now have a crafted elephant head appearing extreme right. (RL)

Nic goes to find Munro to help after John is incarcerated in the Tower. A dark shot of Chester Gate in London NW1 located by Simon James.

Looking north into Chester Terrace from Chester Gate, a similar view is seen in 'Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?' SJ

Dawn breaks over London and the hour of John's execution draws near. Tower Bridge spanning the River Thames with the Tower Hotel under construction to the left.

Comparison provided by Peter.

The camera pans to settle on the Tower of London.

Peter settled on the Tower too.

As the Executioner sharpens his axe, a Bugler plays. The White Tower within the Tower of London.

A view without scaffolding by Peter.

A Drummer leads the way, followed by a Priest and two Beefeaters guarding John. In the background stands the curtain wall that runs between the Salt Tower and the Lanthorne Tower.

Peter took this comparison whilst enjoying a day in the Tower of London, which he found to be better value than some of the Capital's other attractions.

The small procession nears the scaffold. The White Tower seen from the south-east of the Inner Ward.

Whilst it would appear that the canon has been changed, the most significant change is the White Tower access now provided via that wooden staircase. (RL)

John looks at the Executioner after running his thumb along the blade of his axe. Rising to the left is the former Married Men's Quarters and Hospital Building.

The same location in this picture by Peter.

After escaping from the Tower through a television set and waking up from the daydream in class, John rushes home where he finds Alice. The junction of Christchurch Hill and Willow Road in London NW3.

The same location captured by Tris.
