Places whose own article says it was shot there
1 place whose own Wikipedia article names this series as something shot there, where Wikidata records nothing and this series’s own article does not say so either. The weakest evidence on this atlas: no pin on the map, and nothing in the downloads. Each sentence is quoted whole and linked to the article it came from, so it can be judged rather than taken on trust.
