Not sure I'd be desperately wanting to think they'd based it on my home town.

sounds more like Accy Vasey to me, an incident not to long ago brought that to mind.

'You based it on Darwin, didn't you?'

Must be based in Australia.

I had no idea that Steve Pemberton was born in Blackburn. So I looked him up on IMDB. I was then interested to learn if there was any other Blackburnians...
