I remember thinking through my drunken haze that we had either been invaded by the Soviets or that there was a Labour Conference taking place!
Next day I went to check out what was going on and it turned out to be a film in progress. The Caird Hall was being used as a Moscow theatre double in the BBC film "An Englishman abroad".
I stayed for a while and watched them film a couple of scenes - complete with fake snow.
I remember getting off the 22 bus on my way to work (would have been 82 or 83, I think) and seeing this. never did see the film though.
