Media History

As you can imagine the Walpole is an ideal film location and we have been used as a back drop for such diverse happenings as The Republican video for "Try Everything" so have been featured on Top of the Pops and MTV. BBC 2s' "One Foot in the Past" did a piece on us even though they did not mention our Museum and so missed the plot completely! Although Julia Carling filming "Bon Voyage" for Meridian TV gave everyone a super cameo visit to the museum on the programme. We have been a Scottish tenement building in a film by Matt Coleshaw, a Gentlemen's Club on the latest Aston Martin trade advertisement, the "Dastardly Deed" Hotel location in "Mack & Mabel" for the Marlowe Theatre, the secret venue for "Star of the Night" with Jane MacDonald, Sky TV used us for interviews with Steve Cram and Paula Radcliffe and our wonderful 1930s veranda has featured on so many modelling assignments, films and advertisements that we have lost count.
