The Alnwick Castle Podcast
35 - Alnwick Castle and Television - with James Dyer
Alnwick Castle is famous for its big screen appearances like the first two Harry Potter movies and 2023's Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves, but did you know about the many times it has also featured on television? From Downton Abbey to Blackadder, the castle has made its mark on TV audiences for many years. Our hosts Daniel and Deborah introduce Daniel's conversation with James Dyer, Digital Editor-in-Chief of Empire and host of the Pilot TV Podcast, where we get into the unique appeal of Downton, as well as everything from the benefits of filming television on location to cult classics like Robin Of Sherwood to Alnwick Castle's surprising cameo appearance on an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation!
