Man of Violence

While his nightclub is being smashed up by Hunt, one of Grayson's henchmen, building consortium member Sam Bryant (Derek Francis) discuses figures with his Architects at one of his construction sites.

Bryant's personal assistant Nixon (Derek Aylward) enjoys a game of golf when a call from his boss is received.

Agreeing to work for Nixon, Moon (Michael Latimer) leaves the story's St. Augustine's church after collecting half his payment along with a business card for the Ice Pack Club. Geoff Dodd has identified this for us as Christ Church in Esher, Surrey. (RL)

John Harwood returned to improve his off-angle shot from a few days before. (SJ)

In the graveyard Moon dodges a shot and reacts by firing his own gun, killing one of Grayson's Men. A further use of Christ Church on Esher Green in Esher and Geoff tells us that the elaborate roofed memorial is to Edith Amy Clarke, more details of which can be seen at http://www.victorianweb.org/art/architecture/ferrey/7.html (RL)

Everything in the right place. John H again (SJ)

Moon drives to the Ice Pack Club. See Capture 10. (RL)

Parking his Aston Martin, the freelance hit-man goes inside the seemingly respectable club where he's approached by Nixon. See Capture 10. (RL)

After Nixon outlines the problem he and the consortium have with Grayson's protection rackets, Moon walks back to his car where he finds Hunt pointing a gun at him. See Capture 10. (RL)

Hunt forces Moon to drive to Grayson's London apartment. See Capture 10. (RL)

Having fastened his seat belt, Moon slams on the brakes, before reversing and doing the same causing Hunt to be thrown around inside the car. See Capture 10. (RL)

Whilst we do not usually include highlighted screen captures to substantiate location identification this would seem to be the most appropriate way to identify the location of Captures 5 to 9 that don't themselves have significant features, as established by Geoff Dodd. This is East Dock of St. Katharine Docks looking north. The other side of the fenced wall, followed by brick wall, is Thomas More Street, London E1. The building with the single window (the second now opened up) is still visible from Thomas More Street. The building encircled red is that of William Verry Ltd at 34 East Smithfield and the center of the blue circle indicates the notched sidewall of what was the Goods Depot also in East Smithfield. (RL)

Charles Grayson (Maurice Kaufmann) turns from his apartment balcony's when Moon knocks at the door. Dave W finds this to be on the upper floor of 'The May Fair Hotel' on the corner of Berkeley Street and Stratton Street W1. He has also found that it is the same apartment as seen in Capture 47. (RL)

Leaving Grayson's flat, Moon heads to Chelsea. Luna Street in SW10 ran south-east from Blantyre Street to Cheyne Walk.

No so much a comparison but merely to show, roughly, where Luna Street would have run. This is from Cremorne Road/Cheyne Walk looking north-west and Luna Street would have run just to the left of the tall tower on the right until it met Blantyre Street a little beyond what is now Upper Berenger Walk. SJ

Entering a gay club, Moon makes contact with Alec Powell who works at the Ministry. The area around Luna Street was demolished in the late 60s to be replaced by the World’s End Estate.

I really need to be inside this gate for the north end of Luna Street but there would still be nothing to compare now. SJ

As he returns to his DB6, Moon notices a white car parked near the club. The corner that turns roughly halfway along Blantyre Street in SW10.

Again I should be standing in what are now tennis courts looking south-east towards the relocated replacement (after demolition for the World's End Estate) Salvation Army building on the corner on the still surviving branch of Blantyre Street. SJ

Dawn breaks and Alec Powell (Syd Conabere) leaves the basement club. Looking west on Blantyre Street with the corner of Luna Street to the right of centre and King's Road in the distance.

This is looking towards King's Road from a point further north of what was Blanytre Street, as I couldn't access the tennis courts, behind my left shoulder. And I should have swing to the left for the next comparison which will be wall. SJ

The white car follows Alec as he walks along the street. Looking towards the junction of Blantyre Street and Luna Street. Blantyre Street also appears in 'Murder by Proxy' and a similar view is seen in 'Otley'.

Moon arrives outside the Mentobar Embassy and breaks in. St. James's Square, London SW1.

The usual van and roadwork machinery. SJ

Two Men leave the Embassy after attacking Moon and leaving him badly injured. To the left stands the since rebuilt number 6 St. James's Square.

A new no6. SJ

Moon is helped from the Embassy by Angel Weston (Luan Peters).

Burgess (George Belbin) watches as Moon drives away with the blonde. The north corner of St. James's Square in SW1.

The blue plaque commemorates Nancy Astor. Since 1999, it has been the home of the "In & Out" club aka The Naval and Military Club which moved from 96 Piccadilly. SJ

The pair book into the Excelsior Hotel for what remains of the night. This is the Excelsior London Airport Hotel on Bath Road opposite the airport which still stands as Park Inn Heathrow.

Bryant leaves his house to meet with Flossie & the Crunch, the pop group that he's financing.

Outside the gates of Sam's house, Nixon gets out of a cab before entering the driveway to join Bryant and the band.

Discovering a clue, Moon takes Angel to a marina where they enquire about a boat named Tarquin. Geoff Dodd has for some time been saying that this is Thames Ditton Marina and has now supported his identification, but regrettably little remains as it was. (RL)

The pair scan the names of the moored boats. Thames Ditton Marina with thanks again to Geoff. (RL)

John Harwood found the mooring similarly populated. (SJ)

The search for the elusive Tarquin bears fruit and the boat is found. Steve Baker identifies this as the Hogsmill River as it flows between Wadbrook Street and High Street in Kingston upon Thames, Greater London.

As proof, Steve also provides this comparison view.

Watched by Burgess, the two leave Tarquin after discovering a dead Mentobar government Official lying in the bottom of the boat. To be a little more precise, Geoff says that the building upper left is now a 'Holiday Inn', but the building on the upper right, behind the tree, the 'City Arms' pub remains. Both visible on Google Earth View but unfortunately, not from the water. (RL)

John H. updates us with the Holiday Inn now a Crowne Plaza. (SJ)

Flossie & the Crunch fans hang around the band's camper van. This is Mason's Yard off Duke Street in London SW1.

This is the van-free east side of Mason's Yard. SJ

Following the clue from a piece of paper retrieved from the Official, Moon and Angel arrive at the venue where the pop group is playing. Mason's Yard in St. James's.

And it's another van. SJ

Realising that the pop group's van is being used to move stolen gold, Moon leaves Angel in a cafe while he runs to make a phone call. Facing south-west on Jermyn Street SW1.

Now. SJ

Moon manages to find a working phone box and darts inside just as another prospective Caller approaches. Eagle Place at the corner of Jermyn Street.

A wider thoroughfare. SJ

While Moon waits for Goose to call back with information about the band's tour route, the Caller begins to knock on the kiosk's windows. Looking along Babmaes Street from the corner of Eagle Place and Jermyn Street.

Not a lot to go on here except the obligatory scaffolding. SJ

Returning to the cafe, Moon learns from the Proprietor (Michael Balfour) that Angel has been taken by two people answering Hunt and Gale's description. Geoff Dodd with the sterling help of Anthony McKay has located this as having been shot from Beak Street looking up Great Pulteney Street W1. Further evidence suggests that the café was at 75 Beak Street, you can eat there but they no longer take Luncheon Vouchers. (RL)

And to support their finding Geoff and Andrew provide this Google Earth View. (RL)

A Young Woman approaches Moon who makes out that he's Flossie & the Crunch's road manager. Mason's Yard, which also appears in 'Col cuore in gola' and 'I Like Birds'.

Quite a change. SJ

Having persuaded the Young Woman to create a diversion, Moon watches screaming Fans run from near the camper. Mason's Yard off Duke Street in SW1.

Panning left reveals a similar first floor. SJ

Moon appears from a nearby toilet and gains access to the band's vehicle. The convenience in Mason's Yard has since been replaced by a gallery.

The rear of The White Cube. SJ

Moon and Angel head to London's Heathrow Airport.

The two make their way to the departure lounge and their flight to Tunisia.

Burgess watches as the two walk across the tarmac to the plane.

The plane arrives in Tunis.

In a VW camper van decorated with Flossie & the Crunch decals, Moon and Angel arrive at the Parc Plage Hotel. This is facing west on Avenue Des Nations Unies between Hammamet and Hammamet Sud in Tunisia.

The pair make their way to the hotel's reception desk. The former Park Plage Hotel 8050 Hammamet.

Burgess arrives at Tunis Carthage Airport. This is the international airport for Tunis, the capital of Tunisia.

Moon drives from the Parc Plage Hotel just as a taxi arrives carrying Burgess. The C28, Avenue Des Nations Unies running west from Hammamet.

Double crossing Bryant and Nixon, Frank Girling phones Grayson to advise him about arrangements for transporting the gold from North Africa. The London Hilton Hotel on Park Lane W1. (SR)

The shot tilts down to where Grayson sits on his balcony with Gale. The London Hlton Hotel, Park Lane, viewed over Mayfair rooftops. (SR)

Replacing the receiver, Grayson remarks to Gale (Virginia Wetherell) that "Girling has hit the jackpot!" Dave W finds this to be on the upper floor of 'The May Fair Hotel' on the corner of Berkeley Street and Stratton Street W1. He has also found that it is the same apartment as seen in Capture 11. (RL)

As Burgess approaches Angel at the hotel, Moon makes his way into the city.

Walking through back streets, Moon searches for the Combano Club.

After Burgess explains to Angel that he is working for Special Branch, investigating gun running, stolen gold and revolution in Mentobar, she is taken sightseeing by Moon. Geoff Dodd has identified this as The Orangers Garden Villas And Bungalows resort, Rue de Nevers in Hammamet, Tunisia. (RL)

The two enjoy some local culture, visiting the Villa Sebastian International Centre in Hammamet. This is the Greek style amphitheatre.

The couple are spied upon whilst they dance together.

Moon and Angel leave a cafe where Burgess had been watching from across the room.

Burgess keeps his distance as he follows the pair through the city.

Taking Angel along, Moon returns to the Combano Club.

Moon runs from the club having been mistaken for Bryant by a Mentobar Captain inside.

Chased by soldiers of the Mentobar Army, Moon runs for his life towards a bazaar.

The Soldiers keep up until he scales a gate to reach Angel in the camper.

Escaping from the Soldiers, the two head for the coast to dump the camper.

Angel stands by the water's edge as Moon removes the decals and number plates from the camper. Sidi Mahersi on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea in Nabeul?, Tunisia.

The two walk from the shore, crossing a railway line before reaching the main road and heading home. Looking south along Rue Sidi Mahrsi from Boulevard de l'Environnment in Nabeul? with Sidi Mahrsi in the distance.

Moon makes his way to Bryant's warehouse where Burgess turns up with Angel. Facing The Ivory House in St. Katharine Docks E1, various views of which also appear in 'Attack on the Iron Coast', 'To Sir, with Love', 'The Creeping Flesh', 'David Copperfield (1969)', 'To the Devil, a Daughter', 'The Buttercup Chain', 'The Long Good Friday' and 'The Trygon Factor' amongst other productions.

Bryant leaves in his Rolls Royce after arriving on the scene and hearing Moon explain to Grayson, Nixon and Burgess what has happened to the gold. More of St. Katharine Docks.

Moon walks from the warehouse to collect his car before Grayson takes aim from an upper window and fires at him. A view of the east corner of The Ivory House at St. Katharine Docks prior to redevelopment.

With sirens wailing, the Police arrive at the scene. The, then, dilapidated St. Katharine Docks in London E1.

After arresting Grayson for murder, Nixon tells the Sergeant to charge Angel with conspiracy and the murder of Hunt. St. Katharine Docks with Tower Bridge visible to the top left.

Angel insists that she is innocent. Looking across the West Dock in the since heavily redeveloped St. Katharine Docks in London E1.
