Since Filming: Oxford House

Spotter's Note: The shots of Jeff

is at odds with what has been seen in earlier episodes!

(12:27) Jeff goes to visit the Duke of Cumberland in the
Cotswolds to find out some information about the imposter.

The Randall and Hopkirk offices are long gone, demolished to
make way for a new development. The grass verge seen in the 1993 photograph represents the approximate point at which the
offices stood. This too has also now gone and Jeff and Marty's
offices are now under concrete, following the building in 1996 of
a new shopping centre.

acres of former Elstree Studios land and there remains little that is
