I believe this was filmed at Safeway in the Stretford Arndale Centre (Stretford Precinct) they had one of the first supermarkets in early 1970's #stretford

17 March 1999. Rod Hull died (aged 63). He always appeared with Emu, a mute and highly aggressive arm-length puppet. Hull died in a tragic accident while trying to adjust the TV aerial on the roof of his bungalow, then slipping and falling to his death.

The magical and mundane unfold in a suburban shed as a lonely man stumbles on the supernatural. Mackenzie Crook’s weird and wonderful world, with Pearce Quigley and Michael Palin.

Loving this on White City. Felt for a while we’ve needed more of this kind of thing around Old Trafford. Fair play to whoever’s behind it 👏 👑
