Well now, thanks for making me look slightly less sad than you! I too am watching Whitechapel, but I'm sure that I recognise the stairwells of GQS when the D.I is coming and going inside the Police H.Q. It's a well known fact that stairwell expertise ranks just above train spotting but welllll below toilet knowledge when it comes to ranks of sadness!;) Tony.

I reckon you're right, Tony, but of course if I have to go higher than the first floor (by the posh staircase) then I use the lift (lazy git!)But if you come down to the Big Smoke, you would do well to know where to find a good toilet!

I thought the dining room in episode 2 looked familiar too.

Michigan is becoming the new Hollywood because of the states tax kick backs to the Film Industry, also because of it towns a shoreline can be made to look like most anywhere in the world without building a back lot.I've been reading two pages of posts and trying to understand what's the reasoning to go out on location to do a shoot at a "Men's Restroom" What's so special with this room?

I have a theory, Tom. Perhaps the script said "Scene One: Joe and his boss go to visit John," and the director being American ..... :D

Tom, In the film and telly business, very often, all the different scenes are filmed out of sequence. It makes financial sense to do this expecially when it comes to setting up the scenes, lugging round all the equipment etc. They probably did all the "Police HQ" scenes (the stairwell scenes, lavatory scenes, entry to and exit from the HQ etc.) in one block of shooting at GQS and travelled to other locations for other interior and exterior shots.Fraternally, Tony.

Oh, pulease, Tony! "Ancient no doubt it is, having been subsidised from time immemorial" like the rest of the BBC, but is that the actual colour? A sort of sickly orange? Nah, I prefer the true-blue bogs of GQS.And as for venturing beyond "Watford Gap" - I always thought that Watford itself was the limit of civilisation. :D It's good to see you on here again, Tony - you've got true grit - and salt, and I bet you've been using a lot of both lately. Is it right you're still charging both ways to use the new M6? Even the Welsh only charge one way - Wayne? Is it a charge to leave Wales? ;)

Nooooooooooooooo its not that colour really..... may seem that way after a few hours of neck oiling.... but that's just a flaw in the cameras methinks.And salt and grit....well we tried using 6mm grit because the surface area of the particles was conducive to the properties of the individual snowflakes which zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.................:hehe: Anyway.... we don't grit the roads.. it's subbied out to a company called A1 plus... *sloping shoulders time here...". M6 works now include signage improvements. We're now gonna see the likes of "Liverpool M62 (W) J10" rather than " thys wayye for to venture fforth yon Pool of yon Lyvver whence yer cross the concreet slab oop north...avoide ye yon Mersey Ryvver....for there be SCOUSERS" Ahhhh modern technology..ya can't beat it.
