Different story - same place.

[james-witton]

Yes, I know it’s a bit sad, but whilst watching the latest series of Endeavour I recognised the same shot of a car driving up to a stately home that was in The Living Daylights. The house, not the car, obviously.

Any others?

Another one is the building used as Holby General Hospital used to be the undercover SHADO HQ in UFO. Not such clear pictures though. Sorry

Beat that anoraks!

Both of those are worth mega beardage points.

What was the factory building in the Endeavour episode?

It looked a bit like an old Victorian water or power station to me actually.

Yes, I agree. That or a sewage pumping station of the same era. I vaguely recognised it but cannot quite put a finger on from where.

I recognised it instantly as I used to live nearby. It's the Kempton Park Water Works, now the Kempton Steam Museum. It's not the first time it's been used and they've also filmed in other locations in the area.

Nice one. But can you can find an example of it being used elsewhere? Hence the thread.

Stoke Park Golf Club near Slough is well used movie & TV venue - Layer Cake and Goldfinger, to name but two:

[Dr Jekyll]

Stoke park.

The golf club in Goldfinger and appears as itself in Layer cake. I saw it in an ancient episode of The Saint as well.

[yellowjack]

Minley Manor...




In the movie 'Mosquito Squadron', 1969.





In Agatha Christie's 'Crooked House', 2017.


IMDB also says it was in an episode of Endeavour called 'Ride', as Belborough's house, but I don't recall seeing that one.

The house where Jack Woltz wakes up with a horse's head in his bed in the Godfather is the same house Whitney Houston lives in in the Bodyguard.

Poirot, in an episode called 'The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd'. When the murderer is confronted by Poirot and Japp, his accomplice furnishes him with a Webley revolver from her handbag and he flees, shooting at Poirot and Japp as they pursue him. My wife was watching it just yesterday...


And in Midsomer Murders it "stars" as the biscuit factory in 'The Killings Of Copenhagen' episode...

[croyde]

Nothing to add but I'm liking this thread.

Love the Shado/Holby connection.

I'm fairly sure it was in a previous episode of Endeavour, not sure which at the moment.

BTW - the restaurant whose window Endeavour peered through and saw Thursday laughing with the others was Henry Crabbe's place in Pie in the Sky.

[yellowjack]

This is a scene from James Bond movie 'Die Another Day'...


This is the cable car station set (under construction) from 'Johnny English'...

Same location, same hole in the ground. It's an army bridging gap on a local training area.

Also filmed nearby were 'Age Of Ultron'...



...and 'Jurassic World 2' to name just two...

This is the back of the loading dock set from JW2, viewed from the hole where the first two pictures were taken.



It is the set to the right in this drone image of the set for the big house, which they only built a small part of, the front door and a few windows, the rest was blue-screened...

[james-witton]

Top work here chaps.

I think that the Kempton park pump house was also used for one of those computer game competition shows, the one with the "house pros" as far as I recall. Gamesmaster or something like that.

As a side note, my best friend at senior school's Dad was one of the senior guys on that site when it was Thames Water owned.

I know it's a kind of cheat showing film studios or backlots, but I rather like doing the tours and then spotting the locations on film. For example you can spot the front of the [fake] theatre on one of the Warners back lot streets originally for House of Wax in so many movies. But my favorite sharing of locations is this:

It's the end of the road that The Waltons drive up and down. But it was also used for the part in Jurassic Park where the T-Rex was chasing the jeep in the read-view mirror (repeated rakes - it's a short road). So John-boy could well have been chased by a T-Rex on his way to Ike Godsey's...albeit neither Ike Godsey's store or The Waltons' house is at either end of the road.
