Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Named here by Portsmouth Square’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Portsmouth Square, 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.

From published sources

Productions a newspaper, a film office, a broadcaster, a national film archive, a city filming permit or the production itself says were filmed at Portsmouth Square, where no wiki records it. Each one below says where it comes from, with its source linked beside it.
