Didnt find that one.

Have done the usual (covington, junkyard, farmhouse, boars nest).
Was gutted to subsequently learn that missed Daisy-Bikini location by half a mile.
Also LOADS of smokey-and-the-bandit ones that were about 10 miles away - it was all filmed down there

Danny - make a thread. Would like to see others - I love filming location detective work.

Found out the other day that a village near me was where they did 'Dads army'... Will post link.

This location was the back of the Starr Recording Studio in Atlanta located at 1200 Spring Street which was used in the episode 'Daisy's Song'.

Yes i also did all the usual Dukes locations too and i also missed the Daisy bikini location. It was apparently very close to the Boars Nest site.

Me & my mate want to do all the Smokey & the Bandit locations on our next visit over there.

I know most of Dads Army was filmed in Thetford, but there may have been some scenes done elsewhere

There was a Dave Allen sketch filmed in Aldbury, just down the road from you in Berko, Morgan....

Apparently not - Just round the corner from the farm near loganville. On rosebud - you would have driven within yards - I did.
