Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Torquay as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is, each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.
- The Onedin Line 1971–
- Last Holiday 1950
- The System 1964
- Guilt Is My Shadow 1950
Named here by Torquay’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Torquay, 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.
