Firstly there was an evident difference in the accents, there were 3 people in the room at the beginning which held a country accent and then there was Doc who had a formal town accent. The amount of country accents overruled the formal accent therefore we can tell the scene is set in the country.
The two country men in the scene when the sink breaks are wearing worker uniforms even though one of them isn't really working, in fact he is laid back which tells us again that we are in the country because in the town everything is panicked. This is reinforced again when the sink breaks and Doc gets stressed where as one of the workers leans back and continues to eat as if it doesn't matter.
The clothing also tells me that the country people are always at work all over, unlike towns people like Doc who wear a suit who are typically associated with a 9-5 job, country people tend to work on their own accord, again in a laid back manner.
When taking the dog to the police station the Doc walks down a small closed in street with cobbled buildings/shops. This reassures us that the programme is set in the country because in a town you are likely to get both large wide spread roads where shops are built, and usually glass modernised shops. This is a typical scenery for a country area.
Outside the shops right beside them fishing nets are sold, such things are only sold really at the seaside, this lets us know that the programme is also set beside the sea.
Adding to this we can also tell this is set at the seaside because you can hear the seagulls and see a breeze, which is evident that sea is nearby and we were reassured of this previously from the fishing nets.
