    Great little documentary, its on the DVD as an extra. I love the way the American commentator refers to the Kings Road as "Kings Row"...heart of the London Mod Scene.

    An inexcusable glitch, given that there's a shot of a street sign that says "Kings Road" towards the end of the clip - nice shots also of some of the cast walking along what appears to be the Kings Road and reaching Sloane Square right at the end.

    Nice one. "An unusually tough group of actors"

    I like the Avengers-like drumming in the opening music but a few wider views of MGM Borehamwood would have been welcome.

    He probably just heard the name from a Londoner. The glottal stop doesn't just suppress the 't'. It can suppress other hard consonants as well.

    A Londoner could well say it as "Kings Roa"
