Filming on location in Port Gaverne - Cornwall |
||
|
Port Gaverne in Cornwall is one of the prime Cornish locations for the brilliant Doc Martin TV series and this June, Port Gaverne hosted the filming of part of the Pirateers "On my way to Rio" written and produced entirely in Cornwall by producers Chris Morris and Dave Freeman.
The shoot was made all the more exceptional by the starring appearance of the fine British character actor Ian McNeice.
The Doc Martin Cornish prankster plumber come business entrepreneur Bert Large had great fun on the shoot , but was not expecting to be ambushed by Cornish pirates as he lapped up the high life on the Cornish beach which had been so skillfully and seamlessly tuned into Rio's own Copacabana beach for the filming. Alongside his delicious new girl friends, Patsy and Eddie, the gorgeous characters from the hit TV series Absolutely Fabulous.
I hope you enjoy these photos which were a joy to take and which have been reduced in size to cater for the web site. Full sized images are available but please observe the copyright of these. Jackie. |

Not many people know that Ian McNeice, who plays Bert Large in the hugely popular television series Doc Martin, had to take a crash course in playing the guitar for the filming of 'On the way to Rio' His remarkable flamenco guitar solo right at the beginning of the film is quite astonishing and the producers are confident that an Academy Award nomination is imminent!
