Tv series set in dover
- 16 March 2009 23:2817548Having set the series in Dover it would have been nice to see some more of the exteriors shot in the town. The Town Hall, Pencester Gardens and parts of Biggin Street (without closed shops) could have been used if well shot. In the short scene outside a pub why not use a Dover pub, we do have a few left? It would certainly help us attract visitors if the sites seen were actually here to find.Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

i think that we benefitted from not too many shots of our town centre. - 17 March 2009 10:3517572Ah, I missed this completely, as they say, all publicity is good publicity, so there must be a benefit to Auld Dover town in some shape or form, I think
- 17 March 2009 18:4217590Sadly this TV show is very disappointing. Its cheaply made to a woeful degree and apart from a few standard shots, including stock aerial shots, it is clearly filmed in London. Its not going to be an Emmerdale, a show which boosts tourism where its set in the dales to the nth degree. But the few standard shots on show, probably shot in a day and a half, are very welcome. Cullins Yard was featured today with the yacht harbour backdrop...so that bit was good to see. Its nice in Cullins Yard very pleasant...so I hope Pauline Quirk, who throughout the episode had the rather po-face of a woman suffering wicked constipation, enjoyed her time there.

The show is disappointing but many will watch it and we can expect people coming in,which reminds me the White Cliffs Greeters are launched in 2 weeks,people that spend thier own time welcoming people to the Town as a friendly face.
If you knew what I know,we would both be in trouble! - 17 March 2009 20:5017606spot on john, dover is getting into the nations heads without them realising.
good luck to the greeters. - 17 March 2009 21:3517608I made a point of watching this today, on my St patrick's self-imposed national holiday
I loved seeing all the familiar places and views of Dover. Poor Pauline seemed to be freezing in most of the outdoor shots whilst taking in the Dover sea breeze. - 17 March 2009 22:5217612makes a change for pauline quirke to freeze, normally she is too wooden for that.

17 March 2009 23:3017617I thought I'd give it another go tonight. What a waste of time? Rubbish plotlines and total charactertures. We've all said that police don't act like that and the radio chap is beyond belief.
Twice bitten I'm afraid, I won't catch it again.
