This section is an easy-reference compilation of the various books, films and TV programmes mentioned elsewhere in this site, many with links to Amazon.com. Copies of many of these works can usually be found in local libraries and archives (but that probably doesn't help if you're looking for a gift!). Also included are books, films and TV on some of the specialist areas featured on this website.
Please note: widget links to Amazon.com are included below, and clicking on these links will take you directly to their site.

Many of these can be very brief, fleeting shots. Or in the case of Band of Brothers the locations no longer exist (the sets being destroyed after filming or the buildings used have since been demolished for redevelopment).
Band of Brothers
Danger Man (Colony 3 was the episode featuring Hatfield)
Foyle's War (Hatfield locations are easier to identify in Series 3. As it's a period drama they tend to use very tight exterior shots to avoid including modern fittings and fixtures)
