Location:

  • Set in Paddington, Sydney, but with a structure that facilitated movement around Sydney: Vernon said in an interview that 'The used-car man, Ray, and his wife live in Woollahra, and his mother-in-law lives at Lindfield, which moves the characters around to different suburbs. The nurse was made a nurse so she could move around Paddington during the daytime, when office workers are at their desks. Among the other characters are city workers and young couples who earn their living in modern offices and escape at 5 p.m. to their Paddington terrace houses and Edwardiana.'
