12 films and television programmes filmed in and around Portsmouth and Hampshire
Bond has been a visitor over the years, Doctor Who – in various incarnations – regularly touches down and there has been a fair share of big budget films.
Portsmouth and Hampshire have been the set for several films and television series over the years, and here are some of the times we have starred on the big and small screen.
Doctor Who has been filmed in several locations around here over the years, and most recently Jodie Whittaker was in Gosport. She came to the 'living history' village of Little Woodham – a 17th century-styled village in Rowner Photo: Stephen Vernon
