For my sins i've been burning the midnight oil as have been working on some US based assignments, so come midnight i get to relax. With a dearth of easy to watch progs i resorted to watching a few episodes of the Sweeney.
Which made me pause for a moment. All those derelict sites - wasteground, disused factories etc. ....perfect back then for all the car chases. So where the heck would they film that kind of show nowadays?
Rhetorical question really - was just musing how much has changed over the past 40 odd years, where a scrap of land 'darn sarf' is worth a fortune, if you can find one.
Brownfield sites quickly developed, farm buildings easily converted to houses......
