Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2008-05-01 13:36	I was wondering if the director, sitting in the edit suite in Los Angeles, decided that he wanted an obvious London establishing shot, only to find that he hadn't actually filmed anything suitable and had to resort to using stock footage from another film. The bus in the background appears to be a Leyland Olympian/Northern Counties, likewise no longer used for regular services.
