The location looks familiar.


A terrific one-off play for t.v. Jessica Hynes and David Tennant were excellent, but the whole cast contributed to a thoroughly enjoyable film.
The Headquarters of the driving school looked familiar. I am sure that it is an old swimming pool. Does anyone recognize it?

Thoughts in our house were that it looked like Saltdean Lido, in Brighton... don't know if this is right though, because we can't find any info to clarify this.

Im not sure about the driving school, but I do know that they filmed on my road for the scene where Jessica nearly runs over her husband... the bad side is that I was on holiday then! Brilliant. Not.

It's Queen Elizabeth Sports Stadium in Enfield, North London.

All the best,
