Whilst looking for old railway footage of Nine Elms shed in south London I came across this short (mute) Pathe News clip showing the demolition work in 1969 where the final scenes of 'Villain' were shot in 1970... Villain

Just in case people aren’t aware, Villain is showing tonight on TPTV at 22:05. I’ve only just noted this myself so thought I’d share the love as Villain isn’t on the box very often.

Watched it again last night . By strange coincidence, the coachbuilt Mk2 Mini Cooper S seen at the start of the film is now for sale, it's been fully restored by the chap who's owned it for the last 36 years, it's advertised in the December issue if 'Cooperworld', the Mini Cooper Register monthly magazine... mk1-forum.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=37909Villain

Judging by this image I came across recently, there's at least one deleted scene in the film with Ian McShane, Jack Shepard and Tony Selby... Ian McShane appears to have accidentally invented the slimline mobile phone in 1970...! Villain

'Villain' is on again tonight on Talking Pictures TV, at 10.45pm. Villain Went to a gig at The Forum up the road on the 16th when it was on TPTV and had a pint in The Assembly Rooms. Well it just had to be done!

Watched this yesterday.
I don't think Richard Burton made a good London villain, think he made a better threatening figure in The Medusa Touch made in '78. Michael Caine would have been a lot better, IMO.
Rest of the crew were good. I think Tony Selby was playing the same character he did Queen's Pawn, he even said "Handsome!". I think the only person who didn't have a part in The Sweeney was Burton!
Nice location filming. The roads were so empty. Lovely!
