Locations around Cornwall (and the Isles of Scilly) used for the filming of Television Programs and Television Films

Some independent television companies used Cornish locations as far back as 1956 and, in 1966, the BBC started using outdoor locations for Doctor Who . The big thrust of television filming in the county came in the 1970s with two major television series; The Onedin Line and Poldark . A further resurgence in television filming came in the mid 1990s with the Wycliffe series. More recently have been the Doc Martin series, which was a spin-off from the film Saving Grace , and Echo Beach , a somewhat controversial weekly soap opera starring Jason Donovan and Martine McCutcheon. 2014 saw Cornwall as the main location for the remake of Winston Graham's Poldark with Aidan Turner in the title role.
Cornwall has also become popular as the focus of documentaries about Cornish life with series like The Fisherman's Apprentice with Monty Halls and Cornwall With Caroline Quentin .
