Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Bodiam Castle as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list, each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

The Adventures of Robin Hood
1955–
“Some of the other sites used through the series were Bodiam Castle in East Sussex, Leith Hill near Dorking, Framlingham Castle in Suffolk, Newark Priory near Ripley, Castle Mill in Dorking, and Newark Mill.” Wikipedia
Named here by Bodiam Castle’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Bodiam Castle, 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.

Doctor Who 1963–
“It was later the filming location for the Doctor Who serial The King's Demons, broadcast in 1983, and was used again in the revived series for the 2014 episode Robot of Sherwood.” Wikipedia
