Default "Death Line" 1972 (Film)

Ah "Museum" station where the troglodytes lived was actually "British Museum
Station:

No doubt about it when you look at the architecture on this web page. Big
question is how they managed to shut the Central line to film it - unless it
was done at Christmas

Did any one see "Museum?


Museum (as Richard from "Keeping up Appearances" explained) was the name
of the abandoned station where the troglodytes lived. The only stations
actually featured in the film were Holborn and RS. Aldwych did not
actually feature as a station in the film.

The disused area looked more like a sub surface than a tube line but may I
guess have been the long disused platform at Aldwych or was there ever a
platform 6 built for the long disused aldwych line tunnel at holborn?

The film makers clearly borrowed from local knowledge as "British museum"
station is not far form Holborn, albeit on the Central Line
