Last one. Mostly for the Coventry people...

...a Coventry song. With a video filmed in Glasgow, I think. See any familiar faces?

The Specials - Ghost Town

I always thought it was shot on Coventry ring road!

Nah, that's not Coventry. However, the bit in Italian Job where the Mini's are in the sewers was shot in Coventry. Well, underneath Coventry.

I thought that the video was filmed in Hillfields tbh - it used to be be grim as Glasgow (probably worse now)

Large chunks of Hillfields have been demolished to make way for a new college campus.

The best way of improving it ;)

I have a feeling it's shot in London.

Some of the street shots in the first minutes look very like Princes Street in the City (goes north from the Bank towards Moorgate).

The car in the tunnel shots look very much like one of the roads that go under the railway east of London Bridge Station.

Not long after there's several shots that could well have been taken in the warehouses around Deptford, which would fit well with the London Bridge theorem.

And at the end, is that building opposite them on the other bank not now the Tate Modern?

Looks like London to me - I'm sure I recognise some of the towers, and at one point in the tunnel it says "South Bank" on the road.

That doesn't look like Glasgow to me, I didn't even recognise one street or building, although I could see if you thought the tunnell might be the Clyde tunnell...?
