This is absolutely perfect, love the images you found for comparison.

I had a thought about location; what with it's Art Deco architecture (although not exactly skyscrapers, but this is the UK here) and local legends based around rogues and vigilantes, the ideal place would be none other than Nottingham itself!

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT replacing Hugh Laurie's Prince George?

Have I fallen prey to the old switcheroo?
