I heard the director is a fan of Morecambe bay shrimps...maybeI don't mind that scenes don't 'geographically connect'... that's the magic of televisionRemember the comments on here when Happy Valley was being aired?
...but the Morecambe shots in Stay Close were so insignificant, why did they bother?
TBH, it was the locations in Morecambe that inspired me to watch it in the first place. You do right to give up.
Regarding the locations... why did they bother filming in both Blackpool and Morecambe? Both look pretty much the same and are the same place in the series... but moving the cast and crew some 50 miles just for a few insignificant shots seems like a magnificent waste of time with no real benefit. They also shot the bridge in Runcorn, 50 miles in the other direction, and 'the big head' near St Helens... but they're significant looking landmarks... They used nothing in Morecambe to justify being there, not even the view across the bay
Morecambe was little more than the entrance to Lorraine's flat and the view through her window... all the other seaside locations were Blackpool i believe, apart from the safehouse... not sure where that was.It was all over the show ! Fair few locations in Manchester - ah Morecame was used for the sea front - I was thinking maybe St Annes - didn't know. It was OK though.
The Expanse is going well this series, as is book of Boba Fett.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't in St Anne's well not from the episodes I saw.I know they filmed in Manchester,Liverpool for certain scenes.Was talking to someone when they were filming in Blackpool.Where was the big head ? Quite liked that sculpture.It was all over the show ! Fair few locations in Manchester - ah Morecame was used for the sea front - I was thinking maybe St Annes - didn't know. It was OK though.

Sorry yes I know.I was just saying I didn't watch it all but I saw them filming on way to work in St Anne's.They were in Blackpool quite a bit.
It was 97% Blackpool for the seafront

Lol...good job the other 8 million visitors don't think like that.It's pretty much the last place I want to visit.
The last time i went to Blackpool i got off the bus, exited the bus station, realised how grim it was, walked round the block and got back on the very same bus

Sheila Sabatini, is very reminiscent of a lady Consultant I know (but this one's not a Surgeon)
