Jeff Roy in
Canada was such a fan of the series he wrote to Alesund and Bente Saxon
of the Alesund Tourist Office sent him a map indicating key locations featured in the show. (Click for larger version) |
Bente acted as 'Norwegian Liaison' on the series.
She had kept a copy of the Filming / Location Schedule, which she kindly copied for me. It is only a typed "internal" document but fascinating to read nonetheless. I have scanned it and present it here as Portable Document Format (PDF) file. |

Carolyn Meadows from the USA was so taken with the Alesund after watching the series
that in the summer of 2009 she holidayed in Norway and visited the town.
Bente Saxon met Carolyn and kindly showed her round the principal locations.
As you can see from Carolyn's photos below, twenty plus years on and the place has hardly changed (nor has Bente!). |
