If you have any information regarding this production, the locations or, even better, some comparison shots please contact us. Images submitted must be in Landscape orientation, as would be seen on the cinema screen, not Portrait.

We are aware that there are films on the site that were added when the criteria for the inclusion of locations was very different from today and, as a result, there may be scenes missing from some productions. Please do not forward additional screen captures to us but bring the detail to our attention, for we do, and are, 're-addressing' these older entries as time allows.

Clarges Hotel, Brighton.

Now closed. SJ.

Still closed. SJ.

Maybe 38 or 58 Lansdowne Avenue in Slough, Berkshire.

Perhaps the other side of the road.

Marylebone Station?? . . . . again!!! The old platform number 4.

The best shot possible since the land was sold. (PW)

Marylebone station in London NW1. Also seen in 'Postman's Knock', 'Violent Moment', 'The Day of the Triffids', 'The Internecine Project', 'Murder is Easy', 'Rotten to the Core', 'A Hard Day’s Night', 'Accidental Death' and 'One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing' to name but a few.

This is the best shot that can be taken now. The new platform 6 is shorter and the area seen in the screen capture has been redeveloped.

Clarges Hotel, Brighton.

Nice scaffolding. SJ

More scaffolding. SJ

Brighton Promenade.

Much the same as 001b. SJ.

West Pier, Brighton

A little bit of the remaining West Pier. SJ.

  • 'Now' required

West Pier, Brighton, Sussex.

Now, no more West Pier to Carry On on. SD

The West Pier hasn't fared too well but thankfully has been immortalised in films such as 'All The Right Noises', 'Bank Holiday', 'The Big Switch', 'Cast A Dark Shadow', 'Loot', 'Oh What A Lovely War', 'Smokescreen' and 'The Night We Got The Bird'. SD

This whole section of The West Pier has been rebuilt. The kiosk is now West Pier Café to the right of the i360. SD

The kiosks were originally the entrance to The Brighton West Pier. Now rebuilt, they stand at the entrance to The British Airways i360 which has replaced the pier. SD

Opposite West Pier. A similar view was seen in 'The Big Switch' and the location also features in 'The Night We Got the Bird'.

Statue (Boer war memorial) and square (Regency) still there. Pity about the parked lorry. SJ. Still you got a lovely lamp-post still in original colours!

B410 between Slough and Datchet.

Taken on the Slough/Datchet Road (B376), south of the bridge over the M4 and opposite the junction with The Myrke. Simon Mills
