Got you covered...

So I notice in the opening sequence they show traffic driving on the right side of the road, obviously with the intention of making the show appear to have been taped in the US (not sure which city's views they are showing though). Have been looking out for any give away clues that it's in the UK. So far, the big fused power plugs they use in Britain are the only thing I've noticed. Have you spotted anything else, @Kingston? You might be better at this.
Yeah I know it's irrelevant to the show itself, and the majority of viewers will have no idea... just amusing myself by trying to spot any of the little details that give it away. I'll keep looking.I haven't spotted anything per say but I do know that they filmed the series in the UK... You can tell by the weather that it was some time prior to the filming of the second UK series. Also the audition site had a requirement to travel to the UK for filming. I follow most of the cast on Twitter and they've made slight references to having filmed in the UK as well.

Looking at the cast's social media, the series was most likely filmed in August. They all seem to have been absent from early August for a number of weeks.You can tell by the weather that it was some time prior to the filming of the second UK series
Thanks for the link, so they spotted the power points/plugs as well! Wasn't sure which city they had used but Chicago there you go. Noted Smalltown Boy when they played it. Wonder if that was a deliberate but sly wink by producers? Not sure what else inside the apartments could be noticeable as being non-US but I'll keep looking. The world is so global now.Funny you should ask this - I was reading this article the other day which has shown they've tried to obscure the fact it was filmed in the UK by including overhead shots of the city of Chicago during transition scenes. Apparently landmarks such as the "Adler Planetarium" and "Willis Tower" have been shown.
The only thing I can think off is while people are chatting through The Circle and they're cooking at the same time - the brands on the products used would give it away. I can't imagine that they would import weeks worth of food from the US for each player just on the off-chance that the logo would be visible on footage they decided to use.Not sure what else inside the apartments could be noticeable as being non-US but I'll keep looking

You can still tell by looking at the entire packaging thoughEven in the UK version alcohol and food products aren’t branded. You’ll notice a generic Circle logo covering any sort of branding.

They just flipped the UK footage to switch the side of the road they're driving on.So I notice in the opening sequence they show traffic driving on the right side of the road, obviously with the intention of making the show appear to have been taped in the US (not sure which city's views they are showing though).
Haha, I had actually considered that possibility as well.They just flipped the UK footage to switch the side of the road they're driving on.

Bugger.Yip. They dropped at 7pm AEDT yesterday.
From what I've seen, this week's episodes haven't been ripped from Netflix and spread across the internet yet. Last week it happened within ten minutes of being officially released.
