Buses carrying some horny teens and a frustrated Bertrum Muffet turn around a currently unidentified roundabout. No longer unidentified, Di Davies tells us that the roundabout was where the Dolphin Greyhound track was on the corner of Uxbridge Road and Wellington Street, Slough, hence the floodlighting. She believes that Slough Town FC played there too. There is a traffic light controlled junction there now and the old stadium has been replaced with a massive Sainsbury's. (RL)
Antony Blair confirms that the old stadium has been replaced with a large supermarket

Bertrum Muffet (Richard O'Callaghan) walks down Thames Street, Windsor SL4 1PS. Although obviously much has changed since filming, you can still see part of the Theatre Royal sign on the left of frame.
