Whilst listening to the tape he watches television. Trotman's short film London: Metropolis of the Future is being shown on the television. Sirens and alarms are used throughout the film. Police sirens are heard in the background of almost all the scenes featuring the "Laundrymen" Nelson and Muhammed. When Michael is having sex with Felicity we hear a fire engine siren in the background and when Gabriel asks Arabella if Valentino is in the Mafia we hear a burglar alarm in the background. Trotman edited the film alone, during a three-month period. Whilst editing the film, he suffered a retinal detachment in his right eye that almost resulted in a permanent loss of sight.
