London underground simulator serial full#

In a short but memorable scene, 'Bulldog' turns a table upside-down and rides the long spiral staircase all the way to the bottom, passing two crooks on the way, and sliding across the platform and tumbling onto the tracks. Part way there, a train appears down the tunnels and the men hastily climb onto the tube walls and lay flat, only to see the train disappear one car after another, switching to another Tube line. The Underground becomes a key element in the film when the trail 'Bulldog' and his assistant are on leads them to the boarded-up street entrance of a closed 'Bloomsbury' station the dapper detectives in tophats and tails ride the Tube circuit back around to the nearest station to the closed one, and then sneak onto the tracks headed to the closed platform. Typical of the genre and the era, the film starts slow, but picks up speed and flies to the end.

The film is full of secret passages and likable characters.

The 1935 film Bulldog Jack, one of the film entries in the Bulldog Drummond series, is a good-natured crime-solving adventure in which a fictional closed Tube station (Bloomsbury) is featured as an important part of the staging of the film, being part of an intricate hideaway for the bad guys, who are pulling a heist from the British Museum.

The 1929 film Blackmail features a cameo by director Alfred Hitchcock as a passenger on a tube train.

It was the first feature film to include sequences shot on the London Underground.

The 1928 film Underground, directed by Anthony Asquith, is a drama about a love quadrangle which begins on a tube train and continues in Waterloo station.

The London Underground Film Office handles over 200 requests a month. The Waterloo & City line has occasionally been used for filming as it is closed on Sundays.

Filming is now managed all over the system but most commonly takes place at stations like Aldwych (a disused tube station), formerly on the Piccadilly line, or the non-operational Jubilee line complex in Charing Cross.
