Cuffs (new crime drama set in Brighton)

[Wrong-Direction]

Did you see the scene at the beginning at the allotment, I'm sure that is Natal Road not far from Coombe Road.

Yeah I used to live between the two, dewe road!

It would appear the Adur Civic Centre is now the cop shop

The Sweeney it is not!

Cuffs watched just 15 mins of this P/C crap and that is what it is. The Sweeney and Prime Suspect years apart. Watchable Yes. Racist No. It,s called Script,acting,direction.

Wifey likes it because she plays name the street

I caught about 20 minutes of it last night and thought it marvellous fun just trying to figure out where locations were, Southwark Square and the Green in it a lot last night, bit of Holingbury for the marijana factory, think the police station may have been the Aquarena in Worthing, the Dog track was Brighton race course and stables, West street was Preston Street. Great fun.

The Police Station is the Civic Centre near Shoreham Station. I know they also filmed something up near Carden Park, which hasn't been broadcast yet, as there was an area covered with tarpaulin and signs up saying something along the lines of Police are aware of any gunshots (would have been a perfect time to stage a real robbery/murder in the area). It's beginning to grow on me as a series but I would have bailed a long time ago if it hadn't been set locally.

I'm happy just looking out for the identifiable places. Tacky old sign on the Assembly Rooms in Worthing in last weeks episode. Mrs Igzilla, who is an officiando of cop/crime shows, is thoroughly enjoying it. I'm more towards the plot and stuff, but then again I'm not keen on Midsomer Murders (unlike the missus) and I class Cuffs as being in the same kind of vein.

It's fine for midweek pre-watershed drama. The characters are starting to get a bit of depth, and Brighton makes a great backdrop.

It's murder watching it!

The weed factory was just round the corner from the training ground !!

 

[Jack Straw]

Next week, there's a bit of Stanmer Nursery action. We had to cut down some bushes by the Palm House for one of the scenes.

This. Quite enjoying it and ignoring the facts like they filmed the dog racing story at the racecourse and the police station is not in Brighton.

I would guess that every single drama filmed in any town in the country would have people that live in that town making the same type of observations.

I'd be interested in the viewing figures. How many up north watch it and think it's a/ good and b/ real life Brighton?

How much was the setting of Cracker like Manchester / Touch of Frost like Oxfordshire / Taggart like Glasgow.

Given his age and the time it was made, David Jason would not have been tall enough to have been in the police as long as the program tells us. Sorry you'll have to unwatch them. BTW was he Oxon as well as Morse?

I seem to recall touch of frost being based in south Midlands/Oxforshire, - wouldn't put money on it though!

From Wiki...

The series is set in the fictional South Midlands town of Denton, and is marked by a gritty tone. It is believed that Denton is in either Berkshire or Oxfordshire, though there are many references to Reading, Oxford, and in particular, Swindon. In the earlier episodes, the M4 and A417 were often seen, and the map of Swindon was seen in the control room, although a map of Reading was used occasionally. The programme is produced by ITV in Leeds, and most of the outdoor locations are shot in West Yorkshire. Several scenes are filmed in and around the city and district of Wakefield and neighbouring small towns of Pontefract and Castleford, West Yorkshire

We are enjoying seeing all the different view of Brighton.

Thought I was watching the thin red line in the opening sequence

I presume it's aimed at a northern audience as everyone in it seems to have a northern accent.
