Filming locations

Patriek 07 Nov 08 at 11:34 a.m. GMT

Being a big fan of the Poirot series AND of all aspects of Art Deco, I want more information about the filming locations, and also about the possibility to visit them eventually. As a serious search on Google didn't make me much wiser, can anybody help me?

Many thanks,

Patriek

Hammerman,

Splendid! I think you are correct. The place is not even on my map of the West Country, which makes it even better! It definitely looks like the right place though.

If you ever look for something, and I can return the favour by helping you, contact me. By far the most useful information I got from the community.

Thank you most sincerely.

Eltham Palace has been used for quite a few Poirot and Marple adaptations, like Death on The Nile and Three Act Tragedy.

I always thought that Five Little Pigs was filmed around Mothecombe and the estuary of the river Erme in South Devon. This is just 3 miles from Bigbury-on-sea where Evil Under the Sun was filmed. Apart from a narrow road to Mothecombe there is little road access to this estuary. Having walked the coast path here you can only wade across the river at low tide in a few places. Certainly a beautiful place.

The beach shots remain unidentified. I tried contacting Chorion or Margaret Mitchell (the producer of the film), but they all seem unaware of the location, and the producer rather uncontactable - not dead I hope. I suspect they are taken close to Dartmouth in South Devon (in an interview she conformed it was South Devon, and this is the only place that fits in the topography of the shots). But wherever it is, it's terribly tricky to find. I have been trying for the last three summers...

According to the IMDB, The Mysterious Affair at Styles was filmed in Easton Grey, Wiltshire, England, UK.

Does anyone know if the inside of the Aeroplane in Death In The Clouds was a real Aeroplane and where was the Building in The Mysterious Affair At Styles?

I know that they used a town in England called Lacock for various TV Christies...

Which version of Mirror?  The recent "Marple: Body in the Library" was shot here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0414752/locations, but I don't know if the follow up scenes in Mirror were shot there.

The Midland Hotel in Morecambe was used in Double Sin.  You'll find much info on this impressive Art Deco hotel on the web (and it's been restored, so you can book a room now).   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midland_Hotel_(Morecambe)

I am currently trying to compile details of Poirot locations + photographs. These will be at: http://www.tvlocations.net Just follow the link to 'Poirot'. There are only a couple of photos at present but I already have quite a few more to go up there. This will gradually be added to so do keep looking.
