So
what
did
those
partly
constructed
set
buildings
look
like?
This
artist’s
impression
above
(image
21)
offers
a
unique
view
of
set
building
#1
in
its
entirety looking in an easterly direction on the back lot at Elstree Studios.
This
building
is
used
throughout
the
series
and
forms
the
back
drop
to
numerous
scenes.
It
also
provides
the
location
for
several
memorable
close-up
scenes including:
Position
A:
Neville
accidently
kicks
a
hammer
through
scaffolding
onto
an
irate
German
operative
below
in
episode

‘If
I
were
a
Carpenter’
(image

below).
This
position
also
serves
the
same
location
where
Dennis
and
Oz
discuss
the
possibility
a
nearby
Turk
may
be
responsible
for
a
theft
in
episode
4, ‘Suspicion’.
