Spotting places on tv

Watching tv last night and in one of the adverts the a woman standing under a bridge but I knew instantly where it was.

As you can imagine the family was suitably unimpressed.

This was the advert (bridge is it 23s):-

And the bridge is at Rose Green Road in Bristol :- Rose Green Rd

Not sure how to upload pics if someone can screen grab it [emoji2]

Anyone spotted anything similar or maybe themselves?

Chris’s Motel is featured near the end of this 60’s film about how to drive a lorry.

I watched the drama series A Confession a couple of months ago and the opening scene featured Martin Freeman and John Thompson sat at a table in Watling street truckstop Flamstead

When the Orange Riots were happening in Kiev in 2004 I was watching the BBC news coverage with my ex and I said “Oh, look, that’s the main Post Office. You see that flat above it on the far right, I shagged some Ukrainian bird in there”.

I think it’s fair to say she wasn’t impressed. :stuck_out_tongue:

If you are thinking of the hijack scene in the Sweeney. That was shot at the Riverside.

I’m sure there’s a scene of the Consul pulling out of there, not sure if it’s the episode you’re on about or not.
Just remind me where the Riverside is/was.

Its approx. 1/4 of a mile east up the A4 from Jocks.

Ok.
There was another scene where they were on a stake out in the back of a Transit, on the truck park at Heston services

I saw my narrowboat on an episode of “Boon” on UK Gold.

I remember watching that and wondering why a Wiltshire cop based in Swindon would “nip” out to meet a mate for a brew and end up just north of London. I just assumed that his sat nav was crap or that Swindon truckstop was too dire as a setting!

I remember recognising The Silver Ball on the old A10 as a setting for a scene in some crime movie I watched.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned the shop in Doncaster where Open all hours is filmed

I recognise a lot of places on TV for obvious reasons, but a few years since there was a series called Country Cops which followed a rural police force in North Yorkshire. My local plod in fact.

In one scene they were talking to a copper by a main road and one of my old trucks went past in the background. I wasn’t driving it though.

Was watching an episode of Traffic Cops or Road Wars, I can’t remember which one now, and one of the episodes was of a cash machine robbery at one of our shops. Quite surreal as the day before I drew money out from the same machine…obviously months after the incident

Not a TV programme but a music video
The pub in Paul mcca’s Wonderfull Christmas time , is in Ashurst West Sussex and still open and trading , but the coach firm Ron’s who owned the Transit mini bus with all the Santa’s in is long since gone , went bust or was brought by Worthing coaches which is part of Lucketts now
