Despite the fact that the production of the series was moved from London to Birmingham, UK at the start of the fifth series, this is the first episode to be set in Birmingham. As part of a deal with ScreenWM, filming of the last four series took place in the Midlands but made to look like London using clever cutaways of London landmarks.
Producers were heavily criticised for casting Angela Griffin as Georgina. Her heavily stereotypical and over the top Birmingham upset viewers from Birmingham, specifically those from Solihull where the character was supposed to be from as they do not consider themselves to have a Birmingham accent.
Adrian Lester is originally from Birmingham where filming took place and where the episode is set.
