Two episodes of
Homicide broadcast a week apart in 1967 and my eagle eye caught this very nice piece of lizard art in the act of being a painting on the wall in 'Lovely Lady' 11 July1967 and...
'Big Time Operator' 18 July 1967.
This latter story also features two old friends those of us of a certain demographic would regard fondly: Kev Goldsby (as small-time crook Nick Corbett - that's him standing in the street, below) and the motel now known as the Park Squire and oddly I'm pretty sure at this time known as the
Royal Park Motel, not the Park Motel, and yet, here it is, quite plainly labelled the Park Motel.
You don't need me to point out all the things it doesn't have any more and/or didn't have then. Here it is on google map at the moment.
The episode also has some scenes in a car park which really do look like they were probably done in the real car park. Additionally, a scene with the motel manager who
has to be the real manager, he is not a good actor (mind you he throws a bit of improv Leonard Teale's way, asking him to sit down, which Teale completely ignores, presumably because it's not in the script and/or would mess with his blocking).
