You would be surprised how many movies may have been filmed just around the corner from you.
Scenes from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace were shot in a wood up the road from us. Our local park will be seen in the upcoming Wonka. Even the forecourt of our local petrol station pops up on TV every now and then. Filming locations are everywhere.
We love hunting them out. We even made a stop in the Cotswolds once, just to see Kerry Mucklow’s house from the superb BBC comedy series, This Country.
So, this Summer, if you are out and about, why not see what you can spot?
Helpfully, the BBC’s fantastic film buff Ali Plumb has put together a short series highlighting some of them.
