update, I went to Sion House and the gardens were closed until 5 pm so could not get any images. Something to put right in the new year.

Hi Geoff, I see that you have found the block of flats can you let us have some pictures.(I presume that is you on The Man in a Suitcase web site???

Patience dear boy! It was a combination of investigation, Google Earth, LiveMaps, a Sky TV programme, Google Search and lots of luck! I've explained it all in my e-mail which should be in your Inbox now.

Slightly off topic, but I had the privilege of interviewing Richard Bradford a few years ago. He told me that when he filmed Man In A Suitcase he lived in Highgate Village (couldn't remember where exactly) and was fond of going to The Spaniard's Inn near Hampstead Heath.

He also said that making Man In A Suitcase was the only time he's ever been to the UK. He hasn't been back to London since 1967!

Have you got a transcript ?

[Traherne]

I might have somewhere but will take some digging out. It was by phone when he was doing some promotional press for the UK boxset. Was about 30 minutes, he was really nice, very humble but quite critical of the powers that be who axed it after one season.

Might I add, Man In A Suitcase is my favourite programme of all time. Private message me for an other details, cheers.
