The scene is set as George Mallon (David Sumner) is preparing for release from prison. Wandsworth Prison, Heathfield Road, London SW18 which is also seen in ‘The Cracksman’, ‘There Was a Crooked Man’, ‘Time Without Pity’, ‘The Criminal’, ‘Daybreak’, ‘Calculated Risk’, ‘Emergency’, ‘Ooh, You Are Awful’, ‘The Dock Brief’, ‘Up in the World’ and ‘The Mail Van Murder’.
There seemed to be more being delivered to the prison today than coming out.

Mallon is escorted by a prison guard to the Governor's office for release. Mark Elliott advises that this is part of the Twickenham Studio complex, from left to right, Star Apartments for Stage 3, Star Apartments for Stage 2 and the Preview/Theatre 2 Block. (RL)

Roger adds that West Hill is on the route from Heathfield Road and the Surrey House of Correction.
