Trivia
Filmed all over Greater London including between Isleworth and Richmond (bridge scene), Kew Garden, British Museum, The Old Commonwealth Institute (nice to see the old interior... shameful they destroyed it and replaced it with the Design Museum), Holland Park, Kensington High Street, Piccadilly Circus, V&A Museum, Horniman Museum, Marble Arch, Chislehurst Caves, Tower of London and many more tourist attractions... as the film was commissioned by London Transport that may be the reason for the hunt for clues. Kim Fortune went on to appear in two Bond films 'Moonraker' and 'The Spy Who Loved Me'

Superb ,Swinging 60's, Childrens Drama, In Glorious Colour!

Fantastic little curio of a bygone time.London in all it's sixties glory with fashions and music of the time.Some fantastic character actors of the day pop up. Murray Melvin as the arch baddie alongside a sinister Philip Madoc chasing a young Candace Glendenning and her pals across famous London landmarks.Get the dvd if you are at all interested in the sixties period and you won't be disappointed.
