The series was different to the other British soaps in that, prior to 2007, it took lengthy breaks in transmission over the summer. This year, however, there has been no summer break. It was originally filmed at the BBC's Pebble Mill studios in Edgbaston, Birmingham. However, four years into the show's life Pebble Mill was closed down so the soap moved to the BBC Drama Village site in Selly Oak.
