Local library was shut, for two days, to allow filming for Ackley Bridge. In total, less than three minutes screen time.
My old school was also used, and I'd to point out to the location team that using the girls toilets as an office wasn't the best idea. Especially as there was an office about 20 foot away.

Just to the north of Reading is the small village of Mapledurham, where they filmed The Eagle Has Landed, starring Michael Caine.

Not a lot of people know that

I've been there to a 1940s weekend, even had GIs at the entrance to the estate with a roadblock set up to take your wonga, once in you could get into the watermill, house, and church.

I was a bit disappointed not to bump into Jenny Agutter though.

West Gorton?

Walkden, it was a second hand car lot.

 

[stephec]

Although it wasn't very funny.

That's putting it mildly.

Calderdale
The bodies found in the flat, by Yorkshire Police were in a block of flats a 100 yards away. The fact that what the postman, did, going to the police, being a sackable offence was glossed over.
Cold Edge road, after his escape from the court in Leeds, was the long way round.

A Day Out by Alan Bennett, shows Old Lane as it used to be.

Probably glossed over because the management didn't fancy being arrested for obstruction.

I'm in Sheffield now so obviously loads of filming here. Thinking particularly of the Full Monty now I know the area. The main character is a Sheffield United fan but he lives in Hillsborough and spends a fair amount of time walking around that area in a Blades shirt. He would get the absolute living shoot kicked out of him if he tried that in real life. It's completely unrealistic, when the Blades and Owls play each other they have police escorts for the trams, they shut down the pubs, it's carnage. He wouldn't survive walking out his front door.

Some nice cycling in that area, a bridleway follows along the Thames area and goes into Whitchurch and Pangbourne.
Was at Mapledurham a few years back as they were filming a period drama there. Looked to be set a few hundred years going back by the costumes, the Almshouses certainly look the part with little need for alteration.

Coming from Nottingham that extent of rivalry verging on hooliganism is something difficult to understand. Notts and Forest fans live work and socialise together. Maybe its historic as Forest were set up by a Notts player so Notts had someone local to play. One of the more recent games between the two was a cup game that was 3-3 at the end of extra time and Forest won on penalties. Arrests none. After the game both sets of fans converged in a rush for the same buses.

Lots of Vera was filmed very near me. Nice location shots, shame her accent was horrendous.

28 Years Later was shot on Lindisfarne and other locations around here.

Finally, lots of Harry Potter was filmed around Alnwick and in Durham Cathedral.

It'd be the same if Accrington Stanley played Blackburn or Burnley in either a friendly or a cup match, as it's unlikely it'll ever happen in 'the league'. If it was Blackburn v Burnley the police escort the buses you have to travel on, as making your own way there as the away fan isn't allowed. Like most volatile derby games they tend to have the kick off around 12.30pm to deny the fans getting drunk in pubs and for tv rights etc. However if Accrington played either of those two it'd be a 'carnival atmosphere' as both Blackburn and Burnley have many fans who watch Accrington when their team is playing away. One match you could have Blackburn and Burnley fans watching Accrington, being all civil, even friendly with each other, then the next match those same fans could be watching Blackburn v Burnley trying to kill each other!!

A TV drama starring Jasper Carrot was recorded on my road. I couldn't remember the name so I did a Google search for some key terms and got this. It's made me wonder what's been removed!

I've found it now, it was All About Me. It was on TV about 20 years ago.
I'm still curious about the blanked out results though.

Morse is the obvious one; I love it for the nostalgia of old Oxford but can't really stand to watch it currently as it makes me miss the place more; both geographically and given how much it's changed (largely for the worse in many ways, IMO) since the series was shot.

It's probably impossible to mooch more than a few hundred yards in the city without passing multiple filiming locations; I pass the house featured in the first episode The dead of Jericho every morning on my commute along the tow path

Frost all over Leeds including in my fave Indian restaurant The Sheesh Mahal in Kirkstall.

I was going to say Frost. It was set in some fictional southern town but filmed around Leeds and other Yorkshire locations. I think the nick they used was Killingbeck.
