[QUOTE="J. R.'s Piece, post: 92572, member: 12"] I just found Torchwood in a box. Better keep it secret. The UK 35mm film series that ITC did from the 50s-70s were frequently some of the most expensive shows on UK tv. UFO and Space:1999 had some of the highest budgets for UK shows at those times, lots of sci-fi props. The Persuaders! had location filming for half a dozen episodes in Europe. The Four Just Men had location shoots in Italy and Paris, as well as heavy location work within easy reach of Walton Studios. Man of the World had a large location budget and filmed in Spain, Paris and Scotland, as well as extensive location work within easy reach of Shepperton. Return of the Saint, The Protectors and The Adventurer had filming done in European countries. Gideon’s Way had extensive location filming. The Zoo Gang had extensive filming in France. Shirley’s World (starring Shirley MacLaine, who hated doing the show, so they had to finance films for her afterwards to stop her walking off the set) had extensive overseas shoots and heavy location filming. The Prisoner had four episodes with extensive shooting at Portmeirion and other scenes shot there. Danger Man also had filming done at Portmeirion and surrounding areas. The Saint had two episodes with extensive shooting in Malta, some filming done in Wales too. The Count of Monte Cristo had 12 episodes shot in Hollywood. The Adventures of Sir Lancelot had it’s second batch of episodes shot in colour, in 1956. Espionage had heavy exterior filming and an episode filmed in America. Whiplash was shot for ITC in Australia with Peter Graves. Sword of Freedom was done on the cheap though. Thriller however is a largely studio-bound production on video with some location shooting on film. Oh, I was watching Joan Hackett putting in a very powerful performance in an episode of Court Martial (shot at Pinewood) as a wartime nurse, who has started euthanasia killing. Bradford Dillman defends her but it is a downbeat ending this week. There is an interview (11mins) with the late Brian Clemens on the Thriller set. He talked about ordinary things being frightening. He mentioned that the Americans would take British actors, as long as they were known in America. He mentioned that Donna Mills was suggested by ABC television in America and he didn’t mind because she was good to look at and a competent actress. He said the US credits are puerile. [/QUOTE]
