Ealing on Film

The classic 'Dr Who' serial 'Spearhead From Space' was filmed on location in Ealing Broadway circa 1970. Note how the tailors' dummies suddenly spring to life in what we now know to be Marks & Spencer!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10jFdq_0THQ

And then there is Dr Who in Perivale.

Didn't someone 'scale Ealing Broadway' once? Was it Monty Python or the Goodies? Loved seeing these, thanks for posting.

Can anyone track down the factual programme made by Fred Housego 'Queen of the Suburbs'. I'd love to see that again. He featured Ealing Green I recall.

Hi Penny,yes the clip that you're referring to is known as 'climbing the Uxbridge Road' (actually its the South Ealing Road where they filmed it!). Here's the video -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6JS3Lvih88

Did he mention Perivale? Maybe once or twice
