1978
1hr 03mins
Dir: Raju
Starring: Mehesh Butt and Susan de-la-Ford

A young man arrives in London from India, but the job promised to him never materialises

This social drama is very amateur in its production, but it features a scene on the London Underground with an excellent shot of a train of 1962 stock arriving at Holborn (Kingsway) on a Central Line service to Ealing Broadway. However, the view of passengers inside the train was filmed at Oxford Circus on the Victoria Line, as evidenced by the station sign visible through the window of the train (in reverse)! We then see two of the cast leaving Holborn Underground station, suggesting that they never went anywhere at all!! There is also a scene filmed in Southall with the main building of Southall station visible in the background.

The interior of a packed 1967 Victoria Line train. By a strange quirk of fate, the station sign is the only thing visible through the window! It reads Oxford Circus, but the text is in reverse.
