Filming "on location" took place all over London, depending on what was needed to suit the plot. Locations near the studios would be preferred (hence in the later series scenes involving railway lines tended to be in third rail territory despite the supposed East End setting) but I've spotted scenes filmed some distance from Merton, such as in Kingston town centre, on Holborn Viaduct, and on the Victoria Embankment. (Similarly, I was watching a drama recently that was supposedly set in Manchester, but in one scene a London bus was clearly seen) Not forgetting 'Prime Suspect' supposedly based in London, was filmed in Manchester. The giveaway? A mint RM complete with polished nut guard rings, an offside routenumber display. I could never see the stock number, but I'll bet it was RM1414 borrowed from the GMT Museum. Not forgetting THE
classic faux pas, 'Foyle's War' the series which was after the end of the war where he's chasing spies, filmed in Dublin for the period architecture, the set dressed with a fully badged up RM on route 19! Destination West Peckham! |

Luke from The Arkansas ChugaBug could have done it, I bet. As it's Blackpool, maybe the ukulele challenge, complete with little stick of rock, might also be in order. And leave the accordian challenge to BlubberBear? |

You couldn't play an accordion whilst riding a bike. Not even in Blackpool I suspect that playing an accordion while riding a unicycle could be done. Not by me though as I have neither balance nor musical ability. |

I saw this episode, and I also thought it was Stepney East. What didn't fit was the proximity of the L&B viaduct to Limehouse Basin and the busier roads around Stepney East/ Limehouse.

A lot of The Bill was filmed in the roads around Latimer Road station. There was one episode of The Professionals where Bodie and Doyle had to investigate a town where the crime stats were very low. Part of the town was in Burnt Oak, but its shopping centre was at Shepherds Bush. They also roared around the mean streets of Mill Hill quite a bit. That Pro's episode has Watford Junction in it as well, well the entrance to it anyway. |
