Locations around Cornwall (and the Isles of Scilly) used for the filming of Television Programs and Television Films |
||
| Some independant television companies used Cornish locations as far back as 1956 and, in 1966, the BBC started using outdoor locations for Doctor Who. The big thrust of television filming in the county came in the 1970s with two major television series; The Onedin Line and Poldark. A further resurgence in television filming came in the mid 1990s with the Wycliffe series. Most recently have been the Doc Martin series, which was a spin-off from the film Saving Grace, and Echo Beach, a somewhat controversial weekly soap opera starring Jason Donovan and Martine McCutcheon. |
| The following Television Films and Programs are in chronological order of the year they were made. (Or the year they were released if the year of filming is not known) (Cinema Films are listed on another page) |
