Had
the
bomb
been
found
30
years
later
(2013),
it
would
be
located
in
the
approximate
position
of
EastEnders
‘Victoria
Square’
as
circled
(image

directly opposite Walford Police Station!
Position
S:
Dennis
is
‘learning
fast
‘and
refuses
to
offer
Oz
guidance
on
how
to
handle his affair with Uli in episode 11, ‘The Lovers’ (image 32).
Position
T:
(First
scaffold
lift):
Following
a
phone
call
from
England,
Oz
explains
to
Dennis
and
Bomber
that
Neville’s
wife
Brenda
is
making
an
impromptu
visit
to Germany in episode 6, ‘The Accused’.
Position
T:
(Second
scaffold
lift):
Dennis
discovers
his
wife
Vera
would
like
to
visit
him
in
Germany
to
‘talk
things
over’
despite
their
pending
divorce
in
episode 12, 'Love and Other Four Letter Words’ (image 33).
Position
U:
(rear
face
of
building)

colleague
why
they
can’t
write
their
own
songs
in
episode

‘If
I
Were
a
Carpenter’
(image

position
also
serves
the
location
where
Barry
discusses
the
benefits
of
‘alternative
medicines’
and
‘naturopathic
cures’
in

beco TRIVIA #16
Image

offers
a
never
before
seen
artist’s
impression
of
‘Set
Building
4’.
Here
we
see
the
Playboy
billboard
serving
its
purpose
blocking
lines
of
sight toward’ Welbeck Close’ (position K & image 31 position R).
Raising
the
height
of
the
scaffolding
(scaffold
lift
2,
image

during
the
series
gave
the
appearance
construction
had
progressed.
In
reality,
despite
seeing
the
lads
work
on
this
building
in
excess
of
15
times
during
their
6
month stint in Germany, very few bricks were laid.
Some memorable close-up scenes on and around ‘Set Building #4’ include:
Position
Q:
Following
a
tea
break,
an
uncharacteristic
Oz
believes
“the
average
German
isn’t
bad”
after
suggesting
the
lads
get
back
to
work
pronto in episode 11, ‘The Lovers’ (image 30).
Position
R:
“Firm,
all
the
edges
nice
and
square,
perfect
really”
Oz
realises
‘what
a
canny
job
the
German
brick
is’
in
episode
11,
‘The
Lovers’
(image
31).
Note:
below
position
R
is
the
very
location
we
see
Neville
kick
his
football
over
the
green
trailer
into
the
adjacent
excavation
in
episode
2
‘Who Won the War Anyway?’ prior to scaffold lift 2.
