Waddo 921 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Not totally connected with nottm, but a sort of location thing like the boon one. If anyone remembers the 60s TV series "Danger Man" with Patrick McGoohan, there was one scene where a Land Rover goes over the edge of a cliff. The location is not too far from Nottingham and participants in a certain hobby (and no, I don't mean that!!) Will have probably been there. I have and would like to see if there are any other members that might know the location. I might give some clues later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 I worked as armourer on a good few episodes of Boon after it transferred to Nottingham from Birmingham. Also on the Upper Hand with Honor Blackman and Joe McGann shot in studio and on location around Nottingham. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 NBL, did you know an old mate of mine, Bill Hammond who did most of the motorcycle riding on Boon ? I gather that Michael Elphick didn't fancy riding around the streets of Nottm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 I met the chap a couple of times but did not know his full name, only new him as Bill or Will can't remember which but it seemed to be the thing that on set only first names were used. As to Michael riding a bike, hardly likely he would be over the drink drive limit most of the time. He and another sat in his motor home between takes supping and then down to the boozer when the day was over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 That'd probably be him NBL. Yes, I heard that Michael never drew a sober breath during his filming ! LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 I never saw it affect his work but boy could he sup. Nice enough bloke though, seemed to get on with everyone, but it caught up with him in the end 55 is no age to pop your clogs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
