JUST ASK FOR DIAMOND

GB
1988
1hr 30mins
Dir: Stephen Bayly
Starring: Bill Paterson and Patricia Hodge

Two brothers are paid to take care of a confectionery box, but soon come under pressure from various people seeking its contents

This comedy crime movie was based on The Falcon’s Malteser, the first book of The Diamond Brothers series, published in 1986, and written by Anthony Horowitz. It features a couple shots of the frontage to Chalk Farm Underground station and some scenes filmed at London St Pancras station, with an HST set and a parcels van visible in the background of one.

The frontage to Chalk Farm Underground station seen from a rather awkward angle
A flower salesman has just arrived into St. Pancras station, leaving his van on the old taxi arrivals road
In this scene filmed on the platform, an HST set is visible behind the passengers with a Royal Mail Mk.1 parcels van on the right
A pleasing and relatively uncommon view of the fabulous former ticket hall of the old St Pancras
