^ Copying over some of the suggestions from the other YKKTW's comments:

'''[[Tropers/PaulA PaulA]]:'''

* The revived series of ''Series/DoctorWho'' is filmed in Cardiff, which consequently has stood in for London, New York and other exotic locations. The first-season episode "Boom Town" is set in Cardiff, and features the TARDIS parked in front of a recognizable Cardiff landmark with another in the background.

(The first season of New Who also offers an odd non-example or inversion or something: "The Unquiet Dead" has Monmouth doubling for Cardiff, because Cardiff didn't have enough intact historical architecture to portray its own 19th-century self.)

* Possibly related: For much of its run, ''Series/{{Leverage}}'' was set in Boston but actually filmed in Portland. In the final season, the main characters move their base to Portland, and the show suddenly started showing the local landmarks it had had to hide up until then.

* PlayedWith in ''Series/DueSouth'', which is set in Chicago but filmed in Toronto. In one episode Fraser and Ray go to Toronto - that episode was filmed in Chicago.
