Father Ted
1995–1998
“The opening sequence (including shots of the Plassy shipwreck) were filmed over Inisheer — the smallest of the Aran Islands.” Wikipedia
Named here by Aran Islands’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Aran Islands, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.
