It's 40 years ago tonight that Shoestring was first transmitted on BBC One. 'Private Ear' was the first episode of the series, and also the first one to be filmed in March 1979. In the opening scenes we see a taxi driving down a street to pick up a young lady called Sarah Marshall from the Bel Aire Sauna... Bigwood Lane, Bristol THEN NOW THEN NOW THEN NOW Vi

Great pics Moggy, thanks for posting.
That must have been one hell of a job cutting that gateway in to the wall alongside where the mk4 Cortina estate was parked, the wall is so deep. Looks like a tidy job though as they've matched the brickwork to follow the same style as the gate.
Sam.
