Finding The Fear – where in Brighton is that?

Crew and actors filming a scene from Channel 4's The Fear in September
Channel 4 drama The Fear may be set in Brighton and Hove but many locations are far from the city.
During Tuesday night's episode (December 4), characters played golf at Hollingbury Park, drove south along Grand Parade – before turning right into Edward Street, wandered through the streets of Hastings old town, and had an unpleasant experience at Birling Gap.
Mystery surrounds the location of the suburban street next to a motorway bridge and the rural location of a plastic surgeon's office.
What areas of Brighton have you spotted in the programme and have you identified any locations elsewhere? The Argus would like to know.

Where is the night club by a railway bridge? Can't work that one out, or the art gallery.

I used to live in Leamington/Warwick where the series "Dangerfield" was filmed - and a scene was filmed just outside my flat - down an alleyway next to a tyre repair shop. The set had been mocked up to look like a nightclub, with doorway, (where there wasn't one) and signage and everything...
...it was strange as it was a blank wall
ordinarily...
So don't believe all you see.
@gingerDJ - a location mistake to you is only because you're aware of the continuity - to those not familiar with the area it's simply 'visual texture' - it makes no difference to them. :) - but well spotted anyway.

Did anyone notice the location mistake at the start of the first episode? i.e. We see the main character nearly get run over by a unicyclist at the bandstand near West Pier heading towards Shoreham. Yet the next couple of shots are the limo passing the Palace pier heading back to Shoreham then the main character beating up the unicyclist near the Concorde 2?!

Lucas and Kitkat should be getting television producers to promote a more positive representation of Brighton.

This shot made me think instantly of junction 2 on the M32 in Bristol. Will try to freeze frame next time for a better look!

As for the Fear, I recorded the first episode the other night, is it worth watching? Any news on if it will be available on DVD and if the cast will be doing signed sales in WH Smiths? Ok......that last bit was a bit tongue in cheek!!

In fact the building of the house was filmed for "building a new life in the country" A couple of years ago, and the Argus ran a story that read like a advert for the sale of the house a year or so ago,
