There's a load to get through in this video so I do rabbit on ten to the dozen at times; but remember there will also be a 'companion guide' of side-by-side still shots to go with it at some point, for those that prefer to contemplate the details in...

    There was a nearly perfect shot by shot remake of opening credits of the American 1980s private eye series that took place in San Diego, California; "Simon & Simon" (Starring Gerald McRaney and Jameson Parker) with Mad Men star Jon Hamm and Parks & Rec star Adam Scott. Has a kickass opening song. It is spectacular.

    Brilliant work. First vid I've seen of yours and will be watching the others with great interest my friend. This was my manor as a kid and I still walk around the area now and again. I miss the open roads, lack of street furniture and the old Routemasters. In short, the freedom... And, as you say, the chances of seeing a bobby on the beat around here these days are miniscule.
