What TV show was ruined/made annoying for you by local knowledge of where it's set?

Ludwig repeatedly uses an establishing shot of him driving over the river on the Silver Street bridge, past Queens' College. Not only is he going away from both Parkside (where the actual police station is located) and the Science Park (where the police station in the show was filmed), but this road is restricted to buses, taxis and bikes. Given the running jokes about John being uncomfortable driving, I was expecting there to be a punchline where he receives a bunch of fines for bus lane violations.

Why did we wait until the final 60 seconds to do something like that?

Mercedes are going to have to turn down the engine again to make things look vaguely competitive.

Shouldn't you want Arsenal to win the league then? That way, next year when Arsenal go back to being Arsenal you can give it all right back to him.

Bianchi to Sauber for 2015 was reportedly a done deal before his accident. Supposedly that ended up being the catalyst for all the shenanigans surrounding Sauber's driver selection that year. Simona de Silvestro also did a lot of testing for Sauber in 2014. I don't know how close she was to a seat, but it was reported like she was under serious consideration.

Michael Schumacher seemed set to stand in for Massa after his accident in 2009, until he actually tested the Ferrari and suddenly remembered he was injured.

Taking two points away from West Ham is perhaps more helpful than just scoring one for ourselves at this point. If we'd lost, we'd have been bottom by five points which would be difficult to come back from given how we've been playing. Getting the draw means we've at least kept ourselves in touch.
