   The same street side of the back lot was used for three different locations in this episode - the café scene at the beginning, Jean Bougrenet's flat and Mere Lafond's office.
  It's clear to see that both Roger Moore and Neville Becker are not in the later part of the fight scene (0:25). [Submitted by Wojciech Trojanowski] Notice the obvious cut from the actors to the stuntmen  .
I am pretty certain that this is still Roger Moore in disguise and not Tom Naylor (0:45).
