Does anyone know where it's filmed?

Did Topsy and Tim's mum ever have the baby? I saw an episode where they finished school for the holidays and she was heavily pregnant, but I never saw her have the baby.

Same here. Never seen an episode with the baby!!!!

Woollypinksocks · 01/02/2018 18:05

I think I'm a bit over invested, I need to know if she had the baby!

I haven’t seen any new episodes since the last heavily pregnant/school holidays one. That storyline was ridiculous tho. Baby wasn’t here yet and she was shoving topsy and Tim into a shared room again? I’m sure calm-as-a-gentle-breeze Joy would be a co-sleeper for sure, so why rush the twins to have a room that will be empty for another five years?

OhMyGoddd · 01/02/2018 18:09

Why is EVERYTHING in their house from Ikea? I suppose that's quite accurate though.

Woollypinksocks · 01/02/2018 18:09

Yes and the twins were just so happy to oblige.

Not a T&T fan I'm afraid. They break things and hide it, and don't own up to stuff!

MrsHathaway · 01/02/2018 18:11

I think the actor was pregnant in real life so they shoehorned the baby into the script.

Bear in mind the story is told from T&T's perspective so anything they aren't interested in simply doesn't exist.

kitkatsky · 01/02/2018 18:13

The actors just got too old to believably carry it on. I’d love to see Supermum Joy managing a stroppy teenaged Topsy and a Tim who refused to shower or brush his teeth.

GlorianaBanana · 01/02/2018 18:13

I swear they are always moving house

Oh the last episode was quite difficult viewing.
Topsy and Tim had just got home from 'big school' and were putting away their coats and bags when Joy suddenly broke down in tears. She couldn't be consoled and Brian had to guide her into the kitchen, away from the worried twins. He needn't have bothered though because they heard every word of her angry rant. 'I can't stand it any more Brian. I hate the smug little bastards. I hate them. I can't keep doing this. The second they get home I just feel like I can't breathe. They repulse me. They PHYSICALLY REPULSE ME. I'd drown them if I thought I'd get away with it. swigs from bottle of gin And this one isn't yours either Brian.'
Then Brian called her a frigid bitch, slapped her across the face and went upstairs to inject an un-named substance.
The last shot was of the twins sat side by side on the sofa, looking stunned.

I really need to know if it was filmed in an actual house on a set? It drives me bonkers, I'd say a real house but then when they open the doors it looks too fake outside. Have spent too much time watching T&T.....

Woollypinksocks · 01/02/2018 18:30

That's what I want to know dilysmoon google won't tell me anything.

dingdongdigeridoo · 01/02/2018 18:33

Looks like a real house as it has that 70s look that so many British houses have.

I remember their mum getting all upset that T&T had to share a room, and that they simply couldn’t live like that anymore! And then they end up sharing again?

I always think of her as being Max’s girlfriend from Eastenders.

poddige · 01/02/2018 18:43

I posted on the other thread about annoying kids tv characters - and it's my only knowledge about T&T (stolen from ANOTHER thread years ago)

But..... Topsy's fringe is a hairpiece.

Thrilling info I know.😂😂

Would also like to know where it's filmed. Joy is SO BEIGE. literally. So bloody beige. The one where she is wearing entirely biscuit coloured clothes and carts that poor rabbit round the entire new house. You can tell she's so scared of it.

RainbowGlitterFairy · 01/02/2018 19:01

Topsy lives in the same town as me. No idea where its filmed though.

DilysMoon · 01/02/2018 19:52

I knew about the fringe, only from another thread on here haha. Yes so so beige, my (71yo) mum thinks she has lovely skirts Hmm.

Rachie1986 · 01/02/2018 19:55

The pregnant episode was the last one ever made and no plans for any more.

Tinkofhousepan · 01/02/2018 20:01

Hold the phone! Topsy and Tim is no longer a cartoon?????

AmethystRaven · 01/02/2018 20:01

Their old oh so tiny house doesn't add up to me. They had a landing big enough to fit a chair on. Just doesn't strike me as a 2 bed house! Unless Joy and Brian have separate rooms.

sportyfool · 01/02/2018 20:01

Why are they clearly not 4 when they start school ? I get that you get cross probably couldn't do it but really ? Those kids must be 8 or 9?

mummyrabbitpeppapig · 01/02/2018 20:04

It must be a set- the outside is fake - watch when they open the door or take a peek out of the window

Ktay · 01/02/2018 20:04

The inside scenes were filmed on a set at Twickenham Studios and some of the outdoor scenes were filmed nearby - I’m local and it was fun to spot places I recognised. The house was somewhere else in SW London/Surrey suburbia, can’t remember where exactly I’m afraid.
