I live at the top of Scapegoat Hill. Where the Heart is was filmed a few hundred yards away, the Local Shop For Local People is within a mile or two, Summer Wine country is the next valley or so over, Happy Valley was more or less next door. I overlook a house which is regularly used as a location shot, and Jericho viaduct was built in a quarry where I walk the dog every day.( The one which the Colne Valley MTB challenge goes through) Worst of all my lad and I had spent many a happy hour digging a series of steps and drop offs in there, and the ****s built the viaduct right on top of them.
Was kept from riding round Castell Coch on Wednesday as Casualty was filming there, gits 😡
Used to live near Ashridge (Harry Potter, Star wars etc. - wandered into the set of Robin Hood while it was being filmed) and work in Slough (near Pinewood and Burnham Beeches). Ashridge sits above Aldbury - location for several films and TV, including Bridget Jones.
Actually had a car crash outside Stoke Poges church, where Roger Moore is paying his respects at the start of For Your Eyes Only, which backs onto Stoke Poges gold course (Goldfinger, Goldeneye, Layercake etc.)
Grew up in Essex where Lovejoy was filmed - one of pub interiors was a schoolfriend's Dad's pub, although when filmed leaving Lovejoy walked out onto a street several miles away.
Slightly OT, but an ex was an art director on Dr. Who and Holby City too. My name appeared as both a patient in HC and on a flyer for a club night in the Kylie Dr. Who.
Isle of Skye for me , probably to many to list but ,Pronetheus ,B.F.G ,Macbeth ,Highlander ,Flash gordon ,Stardust to name but a few. Macbeth crowd really lucked out cause the weather was proper stinking even for Skye standards.
Heard a funny story bout the lead actress falling in a bog & having a wee breakdown, don't worry dear we've all been there 😆

Robin Hood and Gladiator where filmed in the woods outside Farnham, I've a picture somewhere of a replica siege weapon - not your typical site on a Sunday stroll
squirrelking you beat me to it,
😀
Cardington Hangars have been mentioned a couple of times on here. They've been used for lots of films. As has the Shuttleworth collection for vintage flying scenes.
Millbrook Proving ground was used for the flippy over Aston Martin scene in Casino Royale. They've filmed lots of car programmes there too. One of my mates is in the Army and flies helicopters. They did an exercise at Millbrook the same time as a Top Gear night scene was being filmed. he took Clarkson up for a ride and sent him away staggering about to be sick.
Some Mothers Do Ave Em was filmed in Bedford
The scene where Faisal blows himself and a sheep up in Four Lions was shot just down the road from me in Sheffield. I was cycling home from work the day they filmed it, and was stopped by the police for safety reasons til they'd done the explosion.
Unbelievably parts of superman 4 were filmed at my school (new build campus back In the 80,s) in Milton Keynes. The great man himself mr reeve was suspended from a bloody huge crane on our sports field for about 3 days. You couldn't get near him for all the mums camped round it.
Me and some others were filmed playing American footy (cut from final film). They also shot scenes at MK train station too.
Truly awful firm though.
Better than that though my old local was used in with nail and I ( the crown in stony Stratford) as was the local chemist with was a tea shop then.
Everywhere there is a discreet "Loc" or "Unit" sign tied to a lampost.
A serial killer in 'Cracker' lived next door when I was a student in Liverpool. 😛

'Wayne Manor' (Wollaton Hall), just down the road from us in Nottingham.
Oddly Gotham is just outside Nottingham too.
They're filming now up on Winterfold for something.
Did some filming up there last year as well, I think for Beauty and the Beast. Lots of lighting rigs in the woods near Northern Monkey, along with a few carriages.
Clash Of The Titans 2 was partly filmed up on Redlands near Coldharbour, a scene involving a cyclops? Haven't actually watched it, but chatted to the guards about it.
Another Cardiffian here, they were filming Casualty last weds eve at my local riding place, they've also films lots of Merlin and some Doc who up there.
Wesley Snipes filmed some God Awful straight to DVD action thing here once, back in his "do anything for a paycheck before the IRS throw me in prison" phase.
Sean Bean and Bob Hoskins made another crappy bargain basement film here too, I haven't seen it, but I suspect Bean dies early on.
But best of all, Samantha Janus and Neil Morreay made a film called 'Up n' Under' here when I was in school, it's set "oop north" but filmed in Cardiff - it's terrible, save for the bit when Sam gets her boobs out - a part of it was filmed in my Mate's house.
As others have said, there's always something being filmed around here.
Shoestring was filmed in our village. God,i feel old now 🙁
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (2010) hidden under the Second Severn Crossing, evading Voldemort's Death Eaters and safeguarding the horcrux.
The seem to be filming something about morrissey a couple of roads away.
A few sets in Windsor Great Park and of course living close to Pinewood means the odd castle appears in Black Park Country Park.
Opening scenes from American Warewolf in London... "Don't stray from the path".
Filmed on the pass at the top of my valley. The same stretch of road features in the opening credits of the Antiques Roadshow with the clock in the back of the old convertible 🙂
Used to work in Farringdon; 100m away Smithfield Market has hosted several films, including Hugh Grant driving an Audi TT in About a Boy and Daniel Craig going to MI6's new HQ after the Vauxhall building is bombed in Skyfall.

Small firm I worked for (sadly before I joined) where disturbed by a kerfuffel one day outside so looked out of the window to see John Cleese in his pants hanging upside down out of the window - filming for a fish called Wanda !
Nearby streets where I grew up used for numerous adverts, the most recent being the big lorry with a portacabin kitchen on the back for Burger King.
My work building was in Skyfall, it's in London not Shanghai
ooooo just remembered this one 🙂
Hoping music vids count, since this one by Robert Plant was filmed here in the valley back in the early 80s. Indeed if you look closely from around 1 min 50 then yours truly appears to the left of frame as his skinnier 17 year old self 🙂 Plus it is my dad playing the groom and my mum is far right of shot. I recall we were each paid £20 for the appearance
The "Young Ones" house is about 50 yards from my front garden. I can see it from my bedroon window, whence I watched the first crew rock up for filming 30+ years ago. They've used a friend's house in the same street for Skins.
Father Brown has been filmed round here, in the north cotswolds, our lane has been used twice, and the house we live in has been turned into a hardware shop and greengrocers,
The trainline for the Titfield Thunderbolt ran through my school (although it'd long since been taken up by Mr Beeching and turned into a gravel track to the rugby pitches)
They filmed Macbeth on my uncle's land in 1971,i was 7 at the time.
I have a vague recollection of meeting John Stride 🙂
First Knight was filmed on my outlaw's land.
We were given access to a few of shooting scenes! They actually do use lights camera action! 😀
Met with Richard Gere,real pleasant guy and had time to chat,Connery didn't however,just pissed off in his chopper as soon as the shooting finished. 🙄
If anyone remembers 'Children Of The Stones', that was filmed in Avebury, back before it became the tourist honeypot it is today.
