You live near me then reece! The bay was filmed in my town and in fact the house just round the corner from my house will be used a lot in the new series starting this year

We have an International Eisteddfod every year (not this year though ta 'Rona) that's world famous that gets worldwide TV coverage but other than that I'm struggling.

Oh and Dot Cotton did an Eastenders spin-off up here years ago, something to do with where the character was evacuated to during WWII.

Downton Abbey was filmed all around where I grew up, and Bridgette Jones was also filmed down the road.

And of course...

Nearest thing is probably This Country which was filmed and is set locally, often see members of the cast in one of the bigger towns near me

JerseyWins 11-07-2020 10:28 PM

None in my town that I know of but some of these have been close enough or at least areas I've been to in NJ: The Sopranos, Goodfellas, Jersey Shore

Prob more that I'm just not aware of or can't think of tho

There's a scene in Star Wars the last Jedi filmed in Cork so that's the most famous even though its just a small bit. Apparently the 1956 film Moby Dick was filmed in Cork.

The Wind that Shakes the Barley also starring Cillian Murphy and Michael Collins starring Liam Neeson

Holidays from Hell and 60 Minute Makeover. Yikes.

Kazanne 12-07-2020 09:02 AM

A Christmas Carol, the George C Scott one, made is Shrewsbury . and one of the Changing Rooms was filmed here

Nicky91 12-07-2020 09:05 AM

here in Eindhoven few scenes of a bridge too far, the liberation of eindhoven scene


but more specifically in my street, quite a few scenes for dutch movie De Boskampi's action-comedy, about a kid who has wide imagination and pretends his father is a gangster to escape from their quite boring life

I'm told that the characters from Peep Show came here in a storyline, but I don't know if they actually filmed here as I've not seen it. Maybe they wanted to use the name of a town which has been called "the most adequate place to live" and "the most average town" ?

I'm nearly certain Wickies will have been in several shows,but as it's just a local park to me I don't really know. I think Come Dine was here once, or at least one of the contestants was and it was a county/locality episode rather than a town. We're a pretty small town (my "village" is easily walkable to the town centre and may as well just be a nice neighbourhood) and if Come Dine was filmed using only people from the town itself, they'd all be like one degree of separation from each other, if they didn't know each other anyway.

James Acaster filmed a homecoming thing for a comedy youtube channel.

Star wars is often filmed literally 5 mins from my house. They film all the scenes with the big spaceship thing there (idk what its called)

one of the recent Fast and Furious films was shot there too I think last year or the year before

Beyonce shot a music video in the same place too

armand.kay 12-07-2020 06:45 PM

Think Pirates of the Caribean was filmed here and Misfits was filmed near my secondary school x
