Inspired by another thread, let's list sitcoms or episodes of sitcoms which are filmed entirely in one location. In the other thread, I noted that the first series of Cheers never left the bar (though later episodes did), and there were a handful of One Foot in the Grave episodes which were set, variously, in the Meldrew's living room, in a doctor's waiting room, and in a car stuck in a traffic jam.
Another poster also mentioned the episode of Bottom entirely set on a ferris wheel. Him and Her, I think, never leaves Steve and Becky's flat (well, it gets as far as the hall landing!). Any others?

This episode has one of my favourite lines/exchanges in it-
FRASIER: "What about my coffee?"
WAITRESS: "We've got a team of specialists working on it!"
Plus I think about 98% of episodes never leave the living room/kitchen of the flat and for the most part the ones that do only take you to another part of the flat.
That's true (and a great quote!) - but didn't that episode have 'flashbacks' which took us out of Nervosa? I could be mixing it up with another episode...
Many early Royle Family episodes never left the Royle's living room.
Beat me to it!
I recall them tunnelling into a psychotic neighbour's flat to spy on him having sex. :eek:
Did they ever leave the canteen in Dinnerladies? I don't think we even saw the much-talked about fire escape.
True the only other ones I recall are the Halloween one the mentioned Ferris Wheel one and the fun fair one (there was the shop one but that was still in the same building)
As for Dinnerladies I think the closest we come is when we see Brenn on TV on the game show
I still get goosebumps when i see that scene where Nana says she prayed her wish would come true and then Barbara says 'nevermind don't upset yourself' or something i forget now so Nana says 'But it has come true Barbara it has! I wished that i would never have to go into a home' Very emotional stuff.
Yes - good catch. The one with Mark Gatiss as a camp actor cum Scottish police inspector.
I'm sure there will be a few episodes of Bottom where they didn't leave the front room of the flat, e.g Contest and Culture.
There was also a Bottom set in a tent, into which a flasher kept exposing himself (leading to an unfortunate moment as Eddie and Richie quickly attempted to zip the door up). I believe this was also the episode in which they were petrified that they would be attacked by Wombles because they were camping on Wimbledon Common.
How could I forget that one it's the one I quote the most (Chocolate Hob Nobs)
But out of 18 eps 14 were set in the flat
Although that isnt in the uk, too much irn bru inside me i think
The Smoking Room never left the Smoking Room.
Psychoville did one set in a small flat
You just beat me to that one
