Dempsey & Makepeace filming locations with "then and now" pictures - a slight breeze from the golden 80's.

Happy birthday Michel Brandon 🍻
The 3rd episode LUCKY STREAK was partially filmed in Chelsea, this one on Royal Hospital Road.
Very close to "Foxtrot Oscar" - more about it in "That's All I'm Sayin' " 👌

Happy Birthday Glynis Barber 🥂

Then and now pics from the 3rd episode LUCKY STREAK. Makepeace is driving along Royal Hospital Road in Chelsea.
OMG how time flies - this was filmed 40 years ago

[D&M filming locations fan @Mark_OB_]

A very nice location and camera angle. Picked up from the episode BIRD OF PREY. In front of the Scratch Hub at Battersea Arts Centre, Town Hall Road SE11.

@davros888 Hi, 'The Enterprise' 45 Culmore rd SE15. Also used in ep out of darkness, then 'Carlton Tavern'. Now converted into flats.

@triviaaivirt @DempMake Hi, thanks, nice idea - I just have to wait until retirement to have enough time... nearly 300 locations visited, so at least there is enough material ;)

The Lymon character preferred not to own cars ;)
This time a suitable motor to borrow was Capri,
which he found on Burney Street , SE10 (Greenwich).
Episode #20 ' THE BOGEYMAN '.
(ps. Nick Brimble turned 80 a couple of months ago, congrats !)

40 years ago it all started and this was one of the very first scenes together ❤️ Filmed in the riverside part of the Mayflower Pub SE16.

From the 2nd episode "THE SQUEEZE" which indeed was filmed first. ("now" pic taken in 2018)

@MrMBrandon I have watched F1 longer than Dempsey & Makepeace .. and this sure is one of the strangest penalties. Not fair.

[D&M filming locations fan @Mark_OB_]

@Marcus_The_Man Thank you. That area sounds unfamiliar to me, they usually did not film in such northern locations. Please share a screenshot if you find the ep + location you referred to.

Greenwich Peninsula, part 7

20th episode "THE BOGEYMAN":
The very brilliant car stunt where Lymon's red Pontiac jumps from the ramp and rolls spectacularly was shot near the two East Greenwich's gasholders of which in 2018 ("now"pic) was one left, now both gutted :(

Greenwich Peninsula, part five.

The opening scenes from the 21st episode "THE BURNING PART 1" were filmed towards south approximately from where O2 is.

The "now" picture I took from the cable car in 2018.
A lot has been built since then.

@tommytuck39 Such a nice detail, thank you ! When visiting this location in 2017, I namely remember checking online the scene once again to be sure it is the right place for the ex-tunnel. No cuts, camera rolling, so it had to be it.

Greenwich peninsula, part four:

Location: Morden Wharf Road SE10.
From the 18th episode THE HIT.

"Shall we close the gap, Harry ..."

[D&M filming locations fan @Mark_OB_]

Greenwich peninsula, The Pilot pub, River Way SE10.

The last remaining true landmark in the area left from the old filming days.

"Then" image is from the 21st episode THE BURNING PART 1.

The geezer (Andy Bradford) on the right we saw also in The Squeeze.

[D&M filming locations fan @Mark_OB_]

Greenwich peninsula, part three:

Location: Reminder Lane / Olympian Way SE10.
26th episode BIRD OF PREY

[D&M filming locations fan @Mark_OB_]

Still on the Greenwich Peninsula.. same location as my previous post but now to opposite direction.

This one is picked from the 26th ep BIRD OF PRAY.
(River Way SE10)

[D&M filming locations fan @Mark_OB_]

On the Greenwich peninsula, where they did quite a lot filming, aren't many landmarks left. Buildings have gone and the road systems have changed radically.

From the 21st ep THE BURNING PART 1:
Makepeaces XR3i heading west from the corner of The Pilot pub, River Way SE10

[D&M filming locations fan @Mark_OB_]

@davros888 Thank you🙏! Yes I have a few, I'll post some soon.

[D&M filming locations fan @Mark_OB_]

Arguing whose right of way it was... on location 2, Champion Hill SE5 from S3E2 The Burning part II. At the same adress there was "Ristorante Fiori" where Makepeace threw pasta on a crook in S2E5 Tequila Sunrise. "Now" pics from year 2018.
