* "Treasure Island" (1934) - Pub owned by the Hawkins?

* "This Sporting Life" - scene where Richard Harris (Frank Machen) sings?

* "A Hard Days Night" - The Turk's Head, Twickenham (Where Ringo had a bad day out) Thanks, David!

Also, where is the place where the Beatles get away to hang out - crowd of people dancing to their music?

* "Don't Nail Him Yet" (Danger Man) - Pub where Rawson (John Fraser) the traitor runs away from Drake in West End? The Star in Belgrave Mews. Thanks, Threep!

* "The Girl Who Was Death" (The Prisoner) - Pub where #6 drinks poison in his beer? The old Thatched Barn at the top of Shenley Rd Boreham Wood, next to the A1. (Demolished). Thanks, Smudge!

* "All Creatures Great and Small" - was filmed in the village of Askrigg,Yorkshire & the local pub there featured. Thanks, David!

* "Brannigan" - John Wayne copper movie with Judy Geeson. Pub where he gets in fight?
The Lamb Tavern, Leadenhall Market, London EC3V 1LR. Thanks, Steve!

* "Local Hero" - Pub for the locals? 'LOCHAILORT INN'at Lochailort, near Morar,Scotland. Thanks, David!

* 35 Up - Pub where three girls from East End meet in documentary?

* Inspector Morse Pubs Which pub in Oxford did Morse and Lewis hang out at? Dark wood with low ceiling? I think it was "The White Horse".
The one they drank in most was THE TROUT in Wolverton, just outside Oxford. Thanks, Threep!

Now does anyone know what beers are on tap for each of the listed pubs & more importantly,what are the barmaids like?

Still hoping that someone will tell me where the pub featured in "Mysteries of Men"(1999) is located.

I'll shout a pint to the provider of such information.
Except for Gibbie who gets a Babycham!

The Tinner's Arms Zennor, Cornwall was used in the early sixties horror movie 'Doctor Blood's Coffin'

Cheeky!

David Brent · 27-07-2004, 01:38 PM

I've found that the telemovie "The Mysteries Of Men"(1999) was a joint BBC/Valentine production.

In turn i found that Valentine Productions are owned/run by actor Nick Berry - who also starred in the above mentioned film.

Does anyone know a contact email/UK address for Valentine Productions? I'm hoping that if i can contact them they may indeed be able to supply me with details of the film's main pub location.

That would indeed put me out of my misery after a long unsuccessful search to locate the mystery pub.

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers!

Dave.

Nick Berry Interview

Perhaps the BBC might now, as they have worked in conjunction with this production co.

He is from Brighton, if that will help.

Cheers,

Gibbie

Many,many thanks Smudge.You are a diamond thumbs_u
I will now try to contact them for the required info.
Would you believe that over the last 3years i had contacted BBC London,BBC Birmingham & Theakston Breweries asking for info on the pubs location.I did not get one reply!!!
Thats how they treat their public.
You know it would be a great boost to the British Tourism Board if more film companies were to list detailed end credits as to where locations were filmed.
Not all film companies do this.They just mention what county or district was used in filming with very little detail.American films give much more location details.
I would have thought that the pub used in "Mysteries of Men"may have also been glad of the extra publicity,but as usual a false name was used for it in the film.
Seems strange not to prosper from the coverage.

By the way Smudge,you did mention earlier that you used to go on pilgrimages to Ealing to hunt out film locations.
Please share any gems that you came across on your visits.Your findings would make great reading.

Again many thanks
Cheers!

Dave.

smudge · 28-07-2004, 03:34 PM

You're welcome Dave !

BTW that's a Registered Office address (accountants), so just write c/o. There is a company VALENTINE PRODUCTIONS (MYSTERIES OF....) also based there, but the principal company will be best to write to.

It'll certainly surprise them, I should think - and stay their fingers over the calculators buttons awhile eek!

As to my fillum & TV pilgrimages, if I were any good on the web or this site, I'd post some pix. duh So any technical help would be welcomed...

David Brent · 07-09-2004, 07:45 AM

With Smudge's help i was able to contact Nick Berry's VALENTINE PRODUCTIONS.
I received an email reply today that at last tells me where the main pub featured in the film "The Mysteries Of Men"(1999) is actually situated.
The pub's real name is "The Three Horseshoes" & it's situated at Radnage,nr.Stokenchurch,Bucks.

It's situated in a lovely area & I can't wait to have a future pint there.

Cheers all!

Dave.
