At 35m39s, Arthur goes with Kenny to meet Woods, who he believes is the owner of the playground area. Both Arthur’s and Kenny’s cars are parked behind the building shown, with Woods’s red Saab parked on Windmill Drive itself. It is only when he remembers his hat does Arthur realise he has been had.

Location spotter Lara G is actually the little girl in pink playing in the sand pit, just out of shot behind George Cole’s right arm.
