A great deal of location filming in parks and high streets which really opens things up. Even having given it some thought, I can't think of another series or film that is set in Cheltenham. With all the Regency architecture it's a very photogenic town. I visit it fairly regularly and so recognise places like Hatherley Park and the town centre. It seems to have changed very little, though the time capsule comes from seeing both chains and little independent shops that are now long gone. The cars continue to be fun to watch. That Mini, of course, being the most memorable. Leonard being driven round in a lime green Ford Granada makes me smile no end. It seems such an ordinary car for such pretentiousness - particularly with Michael Ripper in his full chauffeur clobber. Seeing Austin Allegros parked outside rather grand houses fits the same category.</blockquote>
