And this is why I like drains with covers on them, A, they don’t let anything fall and B, you can’t get your hand stuck unless you really screw up.

Oh brilliant clip. This is the one I was telling you about. If only we could find the location. With the stairs and lack of disabled access, it's bound to have been closed. Here's hoping.

I have found them and it is not good news im afraid. These are along Tower Bridge Road near the junction of Grange Road & Decima Street. In the episode there is a shop called Danny Mack and I typed toilets opposite Danny Mack and found a discussion about some toilets that existed opposite a betting shop. On Google Earth I can see most of the same buildings although the building being built in the episode is a new block of flats. There is a Barclays opposite them and a sign saying 'Café/restaurant opportunity. It is said that there was a lot of gay activity going on and the police had watch over them

[@bobsmoczkiewicz]

there's actually loads of this type of toilets still open in London now. I went in two yesterday during a day out, one in St Christophers place and one in Bayswater Road. the bayswater road one looked a lot like this inside!

This is on Tower Bridge Road. It's still there but no longer open

The drain on the urinals should have a cage over it to stop people dropping things down it (and getting their hands stuck) maybe it's had vandals in there

[@Spirit_V70]

They do now, This was back in the 90's

[@benwisely5962]

Yeah all urinals now have cages but this video is from the 1990s

[@TheChipmunk2008]

@@benwisely5962 They had cages going back to the 70s mate, (I know, i'm old!) but like the original poster said, prolly either vandals, or it just got mislaid during cleaning)

I used to love this series. I wonder if you can get it on DVD or something? Reminds me of my childhood... I still remember drying off from a bath in front of a coal fire in the back room with this playing in the front room.

[@danielfennessey]

Box sets are available.

[@mistofoles]

A coalfire in the backroom ?? When was this, 1943 ?
