Spooky - I was at Foxwood when it was filmed, although I don't seem to have made it onto the screen in any episodes. Perhaps they thought I might outshine Mr Bolam

I remember teaching at Foxwood when this series was being filmed. I helped supervise the kids and got filmed as an "extra" in the background. We shared the food and met all the actors and most of the kids in it were from the school except the stars of course.

There where some different ones for the prequel "Get Lost" which I'm wanting to find too. Picked up the free Metro newspaper on the bus this morning. Thought I recognised the 4-bed apartment for sale on Clarendon Road which features on page 47. Reeds Rains City Living have it up for sale at £199,000 and say it is currently 'tenanted' at £1,300 per calendar month.It is definitely the building that housed Trevor's bachelor pad. It even looks as though the estate agent used your photographs. Bet Trevor wasn't paying that sort of money as he pined for Jill back in the eighties!

(See my location ) Yes I did wonder myself, the only thing is that street sign looks pretty authentic to me, just like the old Leeds ones you still see in the odd place. The only way to see is pin point the location, and have a look on the old maps I guess.

I can't find Aristophanes Street in the indexes of my 1955 and 1972 A-to-Z type Leeds street maps. Looking at the shots I think they may have been taken in the Christopher Road/Rider Road area, which I recall from visiting relatives in Glossop Terrace back in the 1950s, so the sign may be a very good replica. Edit - No mention on Leodis either. I base my area proposal on the view of the Parkinson Building tower in the background.

Hard one to call isn't it, the street sign certainly looks authentic.

It was actually Hawes Place. The boarded up shop was the greengrocers run by a very nice Scottish lady.
