TIME BANDITS

GB
1981
1hr 53mins
Dir: Terry Gilliam
Starring: John Cleese and Sean Connery

A young boy accidentally joins a band of time travelling dwarves as they jump from era to era looking for treasure to steal

This off-the-wall fantasy adventure opens and closes with an unusual stock shot of a housing estate as viewed from the air. This is Harlington in Bedfordshire, and the Midland main line can be seen running across the top left-hand corner of the screen. Harlington station with the Toddington Road overbridge can be seen centre top. A bit tenuous perhaps, but a British railway none the less!!

This shot is in fact a still from the London Photo Library and it may originally have been taken by the famed Aerofilms company. Either way, it shows the town of Harlington in Bedfordshire. See if you can spot the station.
