[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 197550, member: 27"] One of the over-riding aspects of British sitcoms that I love is how often (and nonchalantly) they do location filming, even for things that could be accomplished in a studio. The Fairchilds' conversations in the car are indeed an important ingredient of the series, and if this were an American show you can guess they would do it in a studio with a projection screen to save a few pennies (and lose a lot of realism and style). One other thing I forgot to mention before that I found amusing was Anthony, Edgar's glum assistant/henchman. The digs Caroline would make about him (calling him "The Grim Reaper", for instance) and his general inability to speak in sentences with more than three words made him one of those characters I kept an eye on. It looked like a fun part to play, getting under people's skins without saying much of anything---just adopting that resting bitch-face and making them uneasy. [/QUOTE]
