We always welcome comments and more information about our films.

The shots list currently lists the location for this clip as "Waterloo". However I'm sure that's a result of the commentator describing the skidpan as being "the bus-driver's Waterloo", which is simply a figure of speech.
I think instead this is London Transport's skidpan facility at Chiswick.
