With their historical charm, scenic beauty and diverse cities, the United Kingdom and Ireland have proved to be popular backdrops for film and TV directors over the decades.

Doctor Who, the UK and Ireland have been on hand to lend buildings, countryside and natural features to some of the most gripping on-screen moments.
On Location presents some of the finest destinations around the British Isles to appear in cinema and on TV, and details exactly how you can go about visiting them.
