Dungeness is also infamous for its numerous appearances in films, TV shows and adverts. One of the earliest appearance was in the film 'The Dark Man' made in the mid fifties and then 'The Loves of Joanna Godden' with Googie Withers and John McCullen. Since then we have had Doctor Who, Jules Holland and his friend from Mars interviewing locals, one of the Dennis Waterman oddball series, several made for TV movies and a few never to be seen again major film productions and of course numerous adverts - too many to mention. Laurel and Hardy were also visitors enjoying the journey on the RH&D Railway. (Input from visitors to this site with any information on films and their stars please comment on the Visitors page - anything to update or correct this site will be very much appreciated) Dungeness is also relished, by photographers, not only for its unique location but for its good light. This in turn brings the catalogue companies and their anorexic models for their 'shoots', together with the serious wildlife photographers and of course the 'twitchers'. (Any foreigner tuning in and not au fait with the terminology can make use of the guest book - you may get an answer - hopefully useful). Film companies do need to get permission from the estate trustees before utilising the area.
