Very good Randa. Well, it's Twain, but I'm with you. With Donald Sinden and Windsor Davies there's a lot to like.

Oh really? Where's was that? Not poking about in your personal affairs, just curious!
It was filmed in and around Coventry.
Onslow’s “house” was in Stoke Aldermoor, which is, as portrayed on the exterior shots, a dump of an area.

I'm Alan Partridge is a good call.

Seinfeld. I've only seen one season admittedly but I didn't warm to it at all. A studio audience creaming itself over that tall guy who walks into Jerry's flat now and again, can't remember his name. I'm missing something. And I've never seen Frasier.

Haha, it’s okay, mate.
It’s not really a secret where I’m from.

They filmed at Leamington Train Station, The Town Hall and in the Town Centre and a couple of other places.

The very last scene of the original series was filmed in Leamington. The building they pull up to is now a pub and opposite is a Dominos Pizza.

I think it's in episode 2 which does exist yes. The other 6 are gone.

Phwoar. This is excellent, thanks.

I idly googled the debenhams episode and it seems it was filmed at the Northampton store.

At least I think it’s now a pub, it’s difficult to tell.

I was probably exaggerating slightly.

It didn't find it offensively bad. It just bored me to tears.
