A Guide to Visiting the UK and Ireland's Best Film and TV Sights

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

For popular-culture vultures, there really is no better guide to Britain's best TV and film locations than On Location. With their historical charm, scenic beauty and diverse cities, the United Kingdom and Ireland have proved to be popular backdrops for film and TV directors over the decades. Whether it be the period piece Bridgerton, the gritty drama Game of Thrones, the adrenaline-fuelled Mission: Impossible series or the sci-fi trailblazer Doctor Who, the UK and Ireland have been on hand to lend buildings, countryside and natural features to some of the most gripping on-screen moments. On Location presents some of the finest destinations around the British Isles to appear in cinema and on TV, and details exactly how you can go about visiting them. Attractions range from London's bustling city centre, home to many James Bond movies, to secluded stately homes that have hosted elaborate productions of Pride and Prejudice, and offbeat urban buildings featured in well-loved shows such as Only Fools and Horses and The Young Ones. Featuring over 100 TV shows and blockbuster films, this guidebook is sure to keep even the most obsessive film buff occupied for years.
