As a sixth former I actually saw the filming of one episode (in 1968 or 1969, I think) at the station in my home town of Pudsey (near Leeds) while on my way home from school. It was the episode with "You're No Fun Anymore", where the two characters, Mr and Mrs Samuel Brainsample, can be seen walking along the platform of <http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/New_Pudsey_railway_station>New Pudsey railway station. I think that was also the episode with the Hell's Grannies in it. Probably the only thing exciting that ever happened in Pudsey, apart from producing some world class cricketers. Len Hutton (born in Pudsey Fulneck), Herbert Sutcliffe, Ray Illingworth and Matthew Hoggard all began their careers in Pudsey and the 19th Century cricket star John Tunnicliffe was born in Pudsey Lowtown. Apart from that, Leary Constantine (political activist, first black peer and cricket legend), Diana "Mrs Peel" Rigg and Paul and Barry Ryan (Eloise) all attended the Moravian public school in Pudsey Fulneck.
