The camera pans to find Soho where a spiv, Bar Gorman, is operating. To the left of centre, a distinctive pediment. David goes on to say that the shot appears to have been made from the roof of the Warner Brothers offices at 135-141 Wardour Street. The "distinctive pediment" is in fact the roof of 13 Berwick Street seen from behind, now Silk Studios. (RL)
