"The Cemetery"

ELSTREE STUDIOS BACKLOT
SHENLEY ROAD
BOREHAMWOOD
HERTS WD6

In the episode: (00m00s) Jeannie visits Marty's grave to leave flowers. He watches over her as she does so and remains to witness the funeral of Caroline Seaton which takes place directly afterwards.

Since filming: The Elstree backlot is greatly changed since filming, and a Tesco's superstore stands on 12 acres of former Elstree Studios land. Little remains that is recognisable.

The remaining backlot land is poisoned with asbestos due to waste disposal by previous owners. We do not recommend visits to private sites, but this is one where such a visit would be a foolhardy trespass.
