Many scenes in the show have taken place just outside The Mote, but two notable ones were filmed inside. The first was the opening scene to Series 1, Episode 6 when Martin is staring at the mole on a sunbather just outside the doors to the restaurant. The camera angle switches to Louisa sitting at the bar reading a newspaper, but interestingly, Louisa is sitting in the bar at The Golden Lion, the building behind this one and two floors up. Martin walks to the doorway of The Mote and carries on a short conversation with Louisa. Martin's shots were filmed from inside The Mote and Louisa's were filmed inside The Golden Lion. In the Christmas Special after Series 2, the meeting that Gavin Peters calls to discuss Martin's patient care takes place upstairs in The Mote. You can see the Pasty Eating Contest on the Platt from the large window in that area of the restaurant. |
