Blue Lamp, that fore-runner of Dixon of Dock Green will hit this screen shortly. Most of the references to the locations used in film state that there is nothing left to identify with the beat of this west London Bobby, JackWarner. Gladys Henson and Dirk Bogard also starred and the action took place around the Paddington, Edgware Road, Harrow Road and Ladbrook Grove areas of West London. If you want a preview of the 70+ pics that will be loaded soon, send a short email "Blue Lamp", and we'll send you a taster...........in fact a trailer, not a trialer!

The Big Sleep, this time with Robert Mitchum and Sarah Miles was brought to London after the original was made many years previously with Humphrey Bogard and Lauren Bacall, in, I think, Los Angeles. But the 1950's version was made around the West End of London, Victoria, Buckingam Gate, Gloucester Road, Putney, Herfordshire and, would you believe, Ramsgate in Kent, of all places.
Want a preview taster? Send an email "Big Sleep".
