Didn't Jim propose to Dot on the Eye ????? What is this, a deal with the tourist board or something ???????

What so soaps are not allowed to film in anywhere that could be considered a tourist spot are they? Besides that was years ago.

A bit random ... anyway they should be allowed to film in real places, it just brings a bit of reality to the show

I think Karl is about to do the same to Susan in Neighbours. The tourist board must be lapping it up.

I think the London Eye is already the most visited tourist attraction in London so doesn't really need further advertising. It is now seen as a symbol of London as much as Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London but much easier to arrange filming at.

There are pods which can be rented for private purposes, normally covered in advertising or blacked out windows or some such –
