Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2013-05-26 23:28	@dsl: You mentioned they filmed in Malta, but they go there during the first series? Given a choice between Malta and a quarry in Yorkshire for a scene set in Gibraltar, the choice ought to be obvious.
dsl ◊ 2013-05-26 23:40	Maybe. But Yorkshire has red sandstone - eg the Brimham rocks formations of millstone grit http://www.brimhamrocks.co.uk/geology.htm . The Malta reference came from a DVD extras conversation, but did not specify which series of the three was/were involved. But only S3 E2 and E7 have Malta footage plus a brief insertion into S3 E3 as "Rhodes" - nothing in S1 or S2. -- Last edit: 2013-05-31 22:04:44
