The big issue I have with it is the total failure of continuity. His character lives in Bolton and hers lives in Salford (as you can tell by the street signs on her walk to the bus stop) and they work in Manchester so how does it come about that when he's driving her from Manchester to Salford, they go VIA BURNLEY? I appreciate they want to do a bit of a travelogue and show the North West in all its sunny splendour but anyone with the most rudimentary knowledge of this area would be quick to tell you they wouldn't go from Manchester to Salford via a chippy in Burnley (unless they are partial to anaemic, barely-cooked chips of the sort you tend to get at that branch of Banny's shown in the first episode).
Willing suspension of disbelief
