Filmed In Bournemouth

[samkydd]

Does anyone know of any films or TV programmes, past and present, that have had location shooting filmed in or around Bournemouth?

Other seaside locations would be good too. The Entertainer, Carry On films, the Punch & Judy Man and I suppose many more that used the English seaside as a back drop.

Cant think of anything with a bournemouth location,
but some others that spring to mind are,

That summer, torquay,

savin grace port issac,
The warzone north devon,barnstable,bideford
far from the madding crowd,wiltshire, dorset,
a taste of honey,blackpool section,
the system,weymouth.
quadrophenia,brighton,

opps i need a lie down now.lol

cheers Ollie.

THE MOONRAKER (1957) was partly filmed on the south coast at Lulworth Cove in Dorset. Not exactly a seaside resort with candy floss and Kiss me Quick hats, but lovely scenery, nonetheless.

FRENCH DRESSING (1964), starring James Booth and Marisa Mell, was filmed in Herne Bay, Kent.

The Edgar Wallace film 'To Have and to Hold (1963) was shot in Bournemouth.
Apparently producer Jack Greenwood liked the place and went on honeymoon there.
This is also the longest of the Edgar Wallace films, at 1 hour 10 minutes.

THE ENTERTAINER was filmed in Morecambe in the late summer of 1959. One of the main locations was the Alhambra Theatre on the seafront which sadly burned down a few years later.
THE PUNCH AND JUDY MAN (1962) Although based to some extent on Tony Hancock's childhood memories of Bournemouth (he claimed that the sand sculptor really existed) it was actually filmed in Bognor Regis.

There seems to be loads in the Brighton area, Brighton Rock I suppose was filmed there and Mona Lisa?

I saw an episode of Jeeves and Wooster recently and recognised the seafront of Sidmouth.

I don't know if anyone has produced any books on locations used in famous British films or TV series, but it would be quite interesting to people like me who get around the country quite a bit! Quite often I recognise places on films and TV programmes but I'm never 100% sure, and it's rarely revealed in the end credits.

The South coast is great!

Part of The System was shot in Bournemouth.
I think there were some Miss Marples and Poirot episodes shot in Bournemouth.

Also, Beachy Head is often used in film & TV. Examples being The Prisoner - Many Happy Returns and Quadrophenia.

The ending of Get Carter was filmed on the beach at Blackhall,just north of Hartlepool and a scene from Alien 3 was filmed at Blast Beach,somewhere on the Tees estuary.
