With no locations in this production, we see George Trotter (George Formby) arrive outside Mrs. Tubbs' theatrical boarding house, a set built at Gainsborough's Lime Grove Studios in Shepherd's Bush, London W12.

Antony Blair took the best comparison we’re likely to get, a wider view of the former studio site on Lime Grove which, 78 years on, has become Gaumont Terrace and Gainsborough Court.
