Named here by Bristolβs own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Bristol, 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.
-
Skins 2007β
“Coming-of-age drama Skins and supernatural comedy-drama Being Human were also shot in the city.” Wikipedia
Set here, per Wikipedia
Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Bristol, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement β two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
