Still am impressed that they were able to record this show involving the real equipment. This would never be possible nowadays. Makes it so realistic though. It really is a good bit of television.
The lifts the man got on at 7:23 seems to be a different lift than the two lads were surfing, as it looked like it had a single piece door, and the other has bi-parting doors, anyone notice that?
02:45 I wonder why they cannot film the entire sequence at one location, this is obviously not the block of flats seen at the start. At the end...COOL! So who's gonna see what the lifts are like today? I'm in London tomorrow, but I'll see how far away these are from the site i'm working at.
Yeah, I'm a bit curious about that film location too... quite a big hallway for one lift. :) Would be great if you're near that estate from your work and could check it out. ... as mentioned in the video, it's in the Surrey Quays estate, just off the south of the river Thames from London city centre. ... you know the place better than me anyway. ;)
Bit of a late reply, but it is often the case that the interior/exterior shots of buildings are done at different buildings. This can be for various reasons...for example, the location manager will probably be given a "brief" for a specific looking building such as an old tower block on a council estate. He may find one the producer/director is happy with, for an exterior shot, but the interior lifts aren't suitable for rigging the cameras. Therefore, they will seek another building that can accommodate the cameras for the lift shots. They film the two sequences separately at the different buildings, then edit the footage together afterwards so it looks continuous.
One of the lifts were Marryat and Scott , you can tell by the rope equaliser in between the cross head on the car ,the rope anchorage being the "turks head" held in the cup type to reduce need for headroom.
Interested to hear it referred to as Turks Head. To be fair every part has been made up and adopted depending on where you work. We typically called it the Crown bar hitch, providing I am correctly thinking whether the part you are referring to. I do have to correct you though, none of the machines featured were actually full Marriyot Scott installs. These would be mainly Bennie and H+C (We call them Hot and Cold XD). They were typically the manufactures that Southwark used even when GLC were the commissioning authority.
Actress who is playing the woman in the red jacket and being called a “ tart “ by the other actresses character, is Lorraine Ashbourne. Don’t know the other ones, but Lorraine has done a ton of stuff including Playing The Field, she is also married to Andy Serkis ( yep, she is Gollums wife ).
@@thesomething2235 Oh yes, and the sopping wet wool tunic. Ever feel a kitchen towel when it's waterlogged? Now imagine your entire tunic feeling that heavy.
Elevator surfing and entering a shaft IS COMPLETELY DANGEROUS, You MUST BE TRAINED IN ORDER TO OPERATE SAFELY, This INCIDENT HAPPEN IF THE COUNTERWEIGHTS HIT HIS HEAD!
@@richardpearson58 There's nothing wrong with being a lift enthusiast, and riding in lifts, I was on about if you try to play Russian Roulette by gaining access to the shaft above and riding it as it moves up and down, this is a perfect example that misusing the lifts like that can cause death.... A lot of the lifts don't have shaft access from the car anymore because of people misusing the emergency panel above.

The first-ever lift shout was so funny
It's a bit like Bella stuck in the lift in Series 4 Home from Rome
You can tell it's the early series just by the uniforms haha. Miss the old Yellow trousers honestly
Though the yellow trousers looked very nice but they had to replace it after the King Cross Fire since they fire brigade complained that it melted.
