| AdminHistory | Bill Douglas and Peter Jewell scouted several possible locations in Dorset to serve as Tolpuddle in the film 'Comrades' and the abandoned village of Tyneham was eventually chosen. Douglas had previously visited Australia to scout potential locations while still attached to the Ismail Merchant production. When production resumed under Simon Relph, there was not an opportunity to visit Australia in advance again so much of the research was conducted remotely. |
