How a match is assessed

  1. Compare permanent geometry: windows, rooflines, road alignment and landmark positions.
  2. Separate the fictional location from the real place and note any editing that joins them.
  3. Confirm with a production source, local record or multiple independent observations where possible.
  4. Record the episode and timestamp so another viewer can repeat the comparison.
