Father Came Too location

[bart]

hi folks just happened to see a good old comedy (and in colour) starring james robertson justice, called "and father came too"ronnie barker and others had cameo roles in the film, my question is where were the "cottage and high street scenes " filmed?, the cottage must have been a mock up as it burnt down!! can any one help??regards bart

I watched this film over the weekend and have been puzzling over the same questions. I'm not sure that the cottage was a mock-up - the fire scenes could have been clever special effects. Not far from where I live they did something similar for a Pie in the Sky episode using an empty house which was renovated and sold after the filming. A clue to the locations is the newspaper Stanley Baxter is reading in one scene - the Bucks Free Press, which is a High Wycombe newspaper. For some reason (a hunch) I was thinking it was the Great Missenden - Wendover or even Bledlow area but I could be wildly wrong. I need to dig out the film and have another look.

What about the house and town scenes?

[Mr. Sloane]

Wasn't the same cottage used in the second series of the BBC1 comedy 'The Worst Week of My Life'? I must admit it's ages since I watched FCT though, so I could be way off the mark.



Must buy the dvd.
