Trivia
The exteriors of the building that were used as the restaurant are located at 64 High Street in the Old Town in Hemel Hempstead. It was originally a florist. The building became a minor tourist attraction during the series. It now houses the business of a doll house maker since the series ended in 1997. A nearby restaurant at 80 High Street renamed itself "Pie in the Sky" to capitalize on the program's popularity. It later changed its name to Les Amants. As of this writing, the original building that was portrayed as Pie in The Sky is still a doll manufacture and in business. As of July 19, 2019 it's a Richard Brown Hair Salon on Google Maps.

Creepy Fisher

I find the slow pace and characters in this series very entertaining and a change of pace after watching the likes of Hawaii Five O and Starsky & Hutch. Richard Griffiths is perfectly cast in the lead role. The only negative is Freddy Fisher-a humorless self centered prig who abuses the talents of Henry Crabbe and then takes credit for Crabbe's success. I would like to see Fisher parachuted into Northern Borneo and have to fend for himself, using his no talent personality to survive !! LOL.
