STOLEN ASSIGNMENT

Dir: Terence Fisher
Starring: Patrick Holt and Hy Hazell

When the wife of an artist is murdered, rival reporters compete to solve the crime and earn a scoop

This short crime drama features a brief shot of John Bentley leaving a station with a Southern Region 4 SUB EMU departing from the platform behind him. This was filmed at Datchet.

John Bentley leaves Datchet station via a side gate which, according to the small sign is not an exit! The large white sign meanwhile states in part that the entrance ‘will be closed immediately before the train is due to leave’. Confusing? The ‘S’ sign is the stop mark for drivers.
