Where's that UK TV Series Shot?
Ever wanted to know where Balamory really is? Or every TV show shot in London? Or all TV series that are set in Newcastle?
Question no more thanks to this great geographical map of UK TV series put together by Guardian Head of Communities Meg Pickard.
She's done a super job pulling it all together and has even gone way back to the likes of Hancock's Half Hour and the Good Life.
I asked her via Twitter why in fact there were two Balamory locations and she explained that it is set/filmed in Tobermory but one of the character's houses is in East Lothian. So there you have it.
The map was inspired by a map of US sitcoms put together by cartoonist Dan Meth who has one of the all-time best personal blog photos I've ever seen.
If you've enjoyed this post you can receive future musings, as I write them, via email. I post about once a week on average. More techy folk might prefer to subscribe to my RSS feed and I'd be delighted if you do. I'm rather more active on Twitter, have a few pictures up on Flickr, and I tend to keep track of people on LinkedIn and increasingly-less-so Facebook. My day job is running WorldTV.com - a site for doing cool things with online video.
