where is this filmed?


and does no one in britain know how to use a mapquest?

the sign in the first epi was totally wrong

sacramento and los angeles are not that close

reply

Nobody in Britain cares how close Sacremento is to Los Angeles.

It's utterly irrelevant.

in answer to your thread question- i think it's filmed in cape town

It's weird if it was filmed in SA. In the last episode there was a convertible with california license plates. The thing is that almost all california plates used in TV and movies have "PCI" in them, I don't know what's so special about PCI but it is seems be a standard for hollywood, kind of like having 555 as the exchange in all phone numbers.

Anyway, why would they bother with a PCI license plate for a production on the other side of the planet. They probably could have mocked up any old number they wanted.

I noticed the coaches in the last episode were not the boxy North-American style and were right-hand drive.

it was definitely filmed in sa, just saw an interview where they speak about it on the web

Also, it just doesn't really look like California. I'm from southern caifornia and no where that close to Los Angeles, like the street sign said, looks at all like that camp. If anywhere in the US it looks vaguely southern

Yes, this was indeed filmed outside Cape Town in South Africa. In Stellenbosch to be precise. It is very weird to see my university town used as a backdrop for California. The climate is the same, but I think that's where the similarity ends.
