Description - Slightly cheating on this one, but parts of this was filmed at Quainton Railway Station shortly before QRS took over the site. Spoof comedy spy film starring Tom Courtenay and by written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais. Quainton Road station features in several scenes, including Ronald Lacey (German Major in Raiders of the Lost Ark) as Curtis pacing back and forth across the footbridge; with the Buffer Depot, the Brill Platform hut and an empty Down Yard clearly in shot. The film also includes a long scene apparently inside the Platform 1 building waiting room, from which the historically interesting detail screen shot above is taken.
