The production was filmed by a British technical crew in BBC's largest London studio.
Hope's writers didn't get to see much of the city. According to one, Marty Ragaway, they were forced to spend most of the time in a London hotel chained to their typewriters.
"On our third day there," recalled Ragaway, "Hope started to feel guilty about the lousy time we were having, and he said, 'Gee, I've been very inconsiderate of you guys. You probably haven't seen anything of London. Well, I'm going to do something about that: Then he went downstairs to the newsstand and bought forty picture postcards of London scenes, and sent them up to us."
