So I was wondering if anyone had ever figured out the locations of the places seen in Gen 5 so far? For instance, I've recognised Cabot Circus and that archway Franky ran through to get away from the bus stop gang in the first episode, and I can find places like The Rhubarb Tavern via Google Maps, but what about places like where they live? I'm ( Read more... )

Buses add up to a lot money-wise if you're using them often though. Depending on how far you're travelling. But yeah, the buses are good in Bristol, as long as you know the system.

Lolol my dad and brother were in Bristol recently, and my dad texted me saying, "We still can't find Roundview..."

I know some people must know a lot of the more public venues, and I know it sounds completely dorky, but I'd love to go and tour around them sometime. As for their houses, I can't imagine anyone would have any way of finding where they are. And yeah, they could easily be really far away from each other, which is why it makes no sense that they just turn up at each other's houses all the time (although, actually, they havn't done that so much so far this gen) but obviously that's just convenience.

Same! I go to Bristol quite often, and I keep my eyes peeled for familiar spots. ^^

I've never actually been to Bristol before, but I definitely plan on going!

Bierkeller I believe was in ep 2. (haven't watched it yet though, it dropped off 4od by the time I got around to watching this gen!)

i remember someone searched all the gen1/gen2 locations in google earth and posted them on tumblr. can't find the post at the moment but i'm pretty sure he/she spotted some houses too.

yeah i do know that someone found Naomi's house as well as a few other locations. i can't remember who it was though, unfortunately.

OT but one of my friends said the other day that he used to live on one of the roads that Tony and Sid drive down with the coffin in S2, and somebody he knows saw them filming it, something like that.

I don't think I've ever gone to Bristol in my life, I am such a stereotypical Londoner, I've hardly been out of London, most of the other places I've visited have had beaches...
