Very enjoyable thank you for showing the locations, my mum loved that film, I found it quite sad. Mary Webb is very admirable but reading her books was hard going - more dramatic than nowadays! I must try again. You can't help but feel alive up on the Stiperstones - well done for finding your tripod up there! 👍
This was great, it's amazing to discover things I didn't know, happened around here, and the Devils Chair is so spectacular, I love walking there. Thank you 😁
Fantastic Dan. So many of my relatives (alas not the fox) were extras and so many scenes of where they lived (the Callow, God's Little Mountain). Indeed the film is something of a documentary of my childhood. I must say I hadn't realised that it was Longnor Hall, which I recall Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithfull being interested in buying. I really appreciate the shout out, not least as the algorithm is suddenly only promoting me in Indonesia.
I used to live at Snailbeach and walk up Lordshill to the reservoir and above to the chapel. There was an elderly lady living there then. In fact we lived at Woods farm and our landlady was called Hazel…
My Dad and his work mates were timberfallers, who worked for my Grandad . They were returning home in their work van and interrupted the filming of this movie. I am relying on an old memory . It was down a long lane, possibly on the Welsh/English border. Though on recollection that was later, where a TV Show made a prank, by demanding customs check and passports.
I hadn't heard of Gone to Earth before seeing this video. It's the type of film David Lynch should make had he not just popped his clogs yesterday. RIP. It is out of copyright so maybe ripe for an amateur film-maker.
It's an example of where the landscape is a character in a story. Film-makers don't do that these days. Another good example is Portmerion. The romance must be the inspiration for Kate Bush's Hounds of Love.
I would completely agree about the work here using the English landscape in a way sadly that’s rare.On one of the recent channel posts I put a link to a video of Gone to Earths opening sequence played to Kate Bush’s Hound’s of Love. It works very well and I obviously agree with you 👍👍

Great video. I read the book a few years ago, never saw the film though.
Thank you! Gone to Earth is a pretty unique film and well worth a watch. It’s not often you get to see the English countryside used so beautifully

Still these are lovely tales to add. Thank you!

Yes R.I.P David Lynch. He did some very interesting works. I’ve actually been trying to get into Twin Peaks lately 🤔
Also id watch it (if made)
@@thirdratecontent585 Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive too. (You seem ok with gore and disturbing films)
@ I’m unflappable lol
would it be possible to do a video about
Hampton Court Castle near leominister, and the survivors 1970s filming etc...
Definitely sounds interesting 🧐
