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.

After being called by the Committee Director, the young man walks with him through a wasteland. The remains of the Metropolitan Cattle Market in Islington N7, which had closed in 1963. The site is now partly occupied by Caledonian Park.

Paul Lincoln advises that the capture was most likely taken from the top of the tower and whilst it is occasionally open to visitors these days it wasn't at the time of his visit. As a result he provides this picture of the greater garden area until he can return on an 'open day'. (RL)
- Capture 12
- 14 Apr 2014
The Director (Robert Langdon Lloyd) listens as the man explains his actions that took place in a woodland clearing some time ago. The Metropolitan Cattle Market Clock Tower which now stands south of Clock View Crescent, London N7.
A lot of guesswork here as the four faces look the same and the clocks are all stuck at noon. Image from Peter.
- Capture 13

As they continue walking, the Director philosophises. The remains of the Metropolitan Cattle Market.

It seems reasonable to assume that this is the same angled location shot, thank you Paul for 'getting up close'. (RL)
- Capture 14
- 06 Apr 2023
The young man is told that the universe is there for him and is asked to speak about what happened in the glade.

We are unlikely to establish the exact location of the screen capture, so until we do, Paul provides this shot of the tower in its full glory. (RL)
- Capture 15
- 14 Apr 2014
The Director hears how the man decapitated a driver who had given him a lift.
Peter captured the base of he Clock Tower, designed by James Bunstone Bunning and built in the mid 1800s.
- Capture 16
- 14 Apr 2014
Full of metaphors, the two make their way back to the lodge. The site of the Metropolitan Cattle Market, Islington, London N7.
Maybe not the same face but certainly the same location now by Peter.
- Capture 17
- 'Now' required
The committee disbands after, seemingly, doing little more than having a relaxing time away and being entertained by 'The Crazy World of Arthur Brown'. The Greenlands campus of the Henley Business School, Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.
