Exterior views of the Perrin residence – 12 Coleridge Close, in the fictional suburb Climthorpe – were shot at 6 Beaufort Close, Ealing, W5. Reggie's walk to work was shot on the corner of Audley Road and The Ridings and on the corner of Ashbourne Close. All three roads are within about 100 yards of one another.
Many exterior scenes were filmed at sites in Cheltenham including Eldorado Road and the Beehive public house.

Reggie's faked suicide, which formed part of the title sequence, occurred at West Bay, Dorset, with the East Cliff visible in the very opening shot.
The first episode begins with commuters making their way to Norbiton railway station in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. The name of the station is clearly shown although Perrin's residence is in Climthorpe. The morning train's constant lateness in the earlier series is usually blamed on incidents at actual stations along the railway from Norbiton and Kingston to Waterloo.
