Night Caller locations


Does anyone know where the outside location shots were taken, the land where the sphere landed & the army camp?

I worked at an ex-army facility near Chobham Common in Surrey, England but I don't think this was the location, although the area does look similar but the army camp was not the same & anyway I don't think that the army would have allowed filming on their sites in 1965. I'm thinking maybe the New Forest area of Hampshire. However, Shepperton Studios are quite near Chobham Common!

I agree with previous posting, the theme music is brilliant!

Most, if not all, of the army camp scenes seem to have been shot at Shepperton Studios. Some of the buildings are still there and the tops of the original Shepperton sound stages have a fairly recognizable shape.
Use of the studio grounds was probably part of the deal with the production company, plus shooting within a short radius of the studio grounds was cheaper in crew payments, under the then union rules, than shooting further away.
