Ever had a movie/TV series set or filmed in your home town? Was it cringe or "Oh look, that's my house!"

[KnopkaPixie]

My ex front door in my old flat has been filmed, fleetingly, on the French version of Come Dîne With Me as the historic building above the cheesemongers, and there is a TV series being filmed right now on location in my town depicting us all as mafia connected murderous types but in a tasteful and sort of Inspector Morse way, obviously. I live in Corsica.

I absolutely cringe whenever there is a depiction of where I live or have lived on the old telly screen and just want to shout, "Oh God, no! We're not all like that!"

Apart from the hand over mouth, mumble mumble well, sort of kind of like but...

Do you have experience of this phenomenon?

We went on holiday a few years back to a little village in northern Spain called Lastres. Little did we know that it was the filming location for the Spanish version of Doc Martin (Dr Mateo). So there were lots of people there scene spotting, and we found people peering into the house we'd rented- I think it had been in the opening credits. We just thought it was funny.

I was once passing when Lifeboat was being filmed on the Welsh coast, in the 90s. There was a car in the water, held there on a chain, a couple of dummies representing the actors, one of the actors smoking, some foam rocks (we saw the crew lifting them), and there were several back ends of the car nearby. When we watched it, we realised this was because the lifeboat crew broke the car's back window to get to the people inside, so they had some spares nearby.
