grungy-gonads 54 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I'm clever, I just remembered: Although the series is set in Torquay in Devon, none of it was shot in south west England. For the exterior filming, instead of a hotel, the Wooburn Grange Country Club in Buckinghamshire was used. It later served as a nightclub named "Basil's" for a short time after the series ended, before being destroyed by a fire in March 1991. Link to post Share on other sites
