While some scenes were filmed in London, where Gavin lives, the majority of the series, including most of the scenes at the Smith family home and the local pub, were filmed in Barry and surrounding areas.
Some locations that were frequently featured in the show include:
* The Barry Island Pleasure Park
* The Gladstone pub
* The Waterfront
* The Barry Town Hall
* The Barry Island promenade
The show's creators have said that they chose to film in Barry because they wanted to capture the real spirit of a Welsh coastal town and felt that Barry offered the perfect blend of charm and grit.
