Dates

Did You Know?

Dates is John Sullivans favourite episode

 

Dates won a BAFTA 'Best Comedy' Award in March 1989.

 

On Location

A different view of the stunt being filmed.

 

It is in fact filmed around Brabazon Road in Filton, Bristol.  The scene where Rodney jumps a red light and the police car hits another car is SHELLARD ROAD, Filton, BS34 7LU and the scenes where Rodney drives past Trigger sweeping leaves and where he almost hits the lads in the red car is Roycroft Road which adjoins Shellard Road.  You can see a very yellow house in the background of these sceness which in reality makes it a VERY short car chase!!!
I live in Shellard Road and although the old grey houses in the background of these scenes have now been replaced with new houses, the lay-by (parking spaces) in which Rodney drives through some road-cones are still here.  It is definitely not Richmond, Surrey like your site states.
The dual-carriageway Rodney and Nerys drive down is the A4174 which is about 50metres away from my house at the end of Shellard Road.
I havent figured out where the railway bridge is yet but I guarantee it wont be far away.  It doesnt seem the producers went very far to make these scenes and there is a railway line nearby too.
I will email you a photo soon if you wish so you can add it to your site.

PS, you can see all the roads in the map below. (and even the railway line!)
Dates


This road appears in Dates during the chase by the gang of "punks" in the middle of the episode. It's actually Talbot Road, Iseworth, Richmond. The first image shows the bump that is seen when Rodney flies over the road being chased, the scound is where the roadworks were seen during the scene.
The scene with Del and the computer dating agency is 46 Old Market Street, Bristol.
This is the Goose at the Flyer pub and was used as the Nags Head in Dates. Interestingly 2 pubs were used in that episode. This one is found on Gloucester Road, Bishopston, Bristol.
This is the Police Station in Dates when Del's arrested and can be found in Gloucester Road, Bishopston, Bristol.
The Hilton Hotel, Park Lane, London, is where Del take Raquel for there first meeting and slap-up meal.
Trigger goes for Italian with his date at 187 Gloucester Road, Bishopston, Bristol.
