Default London Undeground film/TV locations

Just done an update of my web-page on the Underground in Films & TV,
but there are a couple of queries as to locations used:

'Seven Days to Noon' [1950 feature film]

http://www.cwgcuser.org.uk/personal/...ilmtv/7dtn.htm

Clearly Trafalgar Square (Bakerloo) to begin with, but can anyone ID
the exit station at the end? The penultimate screengrab is the start
of a right-to-left tracking shot, following the actor walking across
the front of the station, and then turning right down the slope/alley.

Harry's Game [1982 ITV/Yorkshire TV]

http://www.cwgcuser.org.uk/personal/...lmtv/hgame.htm

Can anyone confirm if it is actually Watford at the end? Quality of
screengrabs a bit dreary - could only obtain a very old VHS
sell-through.

As per past debate, I've been supplied with a much better copy of the
production still taken on the Bank Central platform for 'The Passionate
Friends':

Might actually get round to doing some more tonight. Maybe....

'Seven Days to Noon': the unknown station looks vaguely like Bow Road.

'Harry's Game': Yes, that's definitely Watford.

Managed to find a picture of Bow Road, but while there are
similarities, the building in the film is much wider, and the
arrangement of doors/windows quite different.

Just worked out that the Bakerloo/Watford error will be down to the
fact that the original book was written in 1975, but the Bakerloo
service was withdrawn between then and the TV version being made.
