I noticed recently that the end credits are also filmed sequences, with the credit text overlaid. These are also locations that can be documented and Google pinned on the site. I have gone through and added the ones I hadn’t already done (episodes 6 and 8 from memory). Episodes 1 and 7 are the same.Continue reading “Credits added”

Hello everyone, I’ve now also added a Google Map page. This will eventually show all locations on one map, with a ‘pin’ for each location. Click on the pin and there is a short description of that location. I have started with the main ones, and will populate where time allows. Click on the ‘Map’Continue reading “Map added”

I have finally found the village of Meligala. It is actually the village of Roussapidia and lies in the mountains south of Neapoli (where else?). You can find more information and Google Street Views and Maps on the Episode 6 page.

I have finished documenting every exterior location in the whole series. What this means is that for every exterior scene or location, I have grabbed at least one screen capture and put it on the site, along with text describing the whole story. So now the story is comprehensively told through text and screen capturesContinue reading “All location screen captures & full list of all outstanding locations completed”

You could tell which scenes were shot in a studio, and which were on location. The studio scenes were a lot more crisp visually and the lighting a lotContinue reading “Pebble Mill Studios”

Just before Haldane gets to the orange grove and meets Annika for the first time, he stops to allow a shepherd to move his flock of sheep across the road. This is near Selinari Canyon, on the old road that runs parallel to Motorway 90 / E75. This is also just north of an earlierContinue reading “Shepherd Location found!”

When Haldane leaves the Kera Monastery, he stops to get a bite to eat. This is the Cafe Mezedopolio in Vrachasi, and is just down the road from Annika’s house. The people watching him are actually sat across the street in a separate seating area. The mountains behind them are the same ones that areContinue reading “Restaurant found!”

BACKGROUND AND HISTORY A charming three-bedroom waterside cottage with a wealth of history and character, dating back to 18th Century, albeit not listed. The property was originally one ofContinue reading “More photos of Miranda Cottage”

At the beginning of Episode 2, Hebden stages a mock attack on a “Jerry Halftrack”, using a bus as a substitute.. This location is off Motorway 90 north-west of Limnes. Check out the episode 2 page for Street View images.

I emailed the BBC’s written archives department in Reading this week to enquire whether I could visit and view any documents related to the series in their archives. I was specifically looking for records of call sheets, filming locations, anything that may have any details that would help in my quest to find the locationsContinue reading “Bad news from the BBC written archives”
