Moved to TV locations
Sorry, I know it's not a film, but I just wondered where is was supposed to be set/filmed?
I'm guessing it was somewhere near Thorpe Park and London as they went there once, but, as far as I'm aware, no location was ever spoken.
I think it is mainly filmed in the Middlesex area, a shopping centre in Uxbridge was used in series 3.
The episode where they go on the school outing to Swanage was filmed in a couple of places. The town centre was Swanage but the boat incident and the ice cream vendor were both filmed at Littlehampton

They certainly get around, but little is done to disguise the locations.
In several episodes featuring the housing estate, the names Edinburgh Drive and Cardiff Way (Abbotts Langley) are very visible, although in series 1 ep 2, Elizabeth Gardens, which it is implied is in the same area, is in Sunbury.
The school is Ruislip High School in Sidmouth Drive, Ruislip (series 1 ep 4 the sign for TARDIS Gym is readable on the opposite side of the road)
The suit hire shop in series 1 ep 6 is in The Avenue, Sunbury (Derek Light Estate Agents and Coral Bookmakers in same parade of shops)
The off-licence scene from series 1 ep 2 was filmed in Pinner.
