There are a number of significant scenes featuring a woodland landscape, opening up onto vast flat farm land. One in particular finds Billy driving Peter, Wayne, Mr D and Jason to a rendezvous point to await the arrival of a plane and its drug laden cargo and results in a rather unexpected outcome. These scenes were filmed in and around Epping Forest with its forest and country tracks.

Having collected Jason and driven through the Dartford Tunnel, Billy stops at a fish market where Jason attacks a man violently. Having thrown acid in the man’s face and pushed him into the back of Billy’s van the pair leave. The drive takes them to Grays Beach and down the jetty. The man then jumps out and tries to wash his face. Jason and Billy leave him.

Other countryside and coastal scenes along with aerial shots form perfect backdrops for scenes throughout the film involving the leading characters. They illustrate the vast rural landscape of the Essex countryside along with the wild aspects of the mudflats and marshland, a haven for wildlife. The combination of rural and urban landscapes provide this group of friends and their driver with the perfect cover and or do they?

After Jason seeks out an old 'acquaintance', the pair end up on a remote point along the vast expanse of the Thames mudflats after which Billy drives Jason home to his flat in a new luxury development on Eastern Esplanade in Chalkwell (near Southend). It is here that he has a rendezvous with his wife, Lisa (Alex Kingston). Jason later meets up with Peter Chase (Larry Lamb) and Wayne Lovell (Micheal McKell), his former partners in crime, and Billy drives them along Eastern Esplanade onto Southend's Golden Mile (Marine Parade) which forms the backdrop for their reunion with its catalogue of amusement arcades and vibrant night clubs. Southend's nightlife features as a backdrop to a number of crucial scenes involving Jason and his colleagues in illicit business dealings.
