I always promised myself one day to go to LA and do a tour of the L&H sights. Those stairs are still there, but a 'little' more built up alas! At least they saved them I guess....
I have the Will Hay box set but only watched a couple so far. Used to watch as a kid and loved them. The one in the fire station was my favourite. Also a massive fan of Laurel & Hardy, Tony Hancock - superb comedy when comedy was innocent.
