Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman is made in Wales; the first two seasons were produced at Upper Boat Studios in Cardiff, which was also Doctor Who's home from 2006-2012. Certain scenes are filmed on location in London, which is obviously where Cumberbatch's title character is supposed to live, but the bulk of production is very much a Welsh affair. Stella Gavin & Stacey show, the warm and supremely likeable comedy-drama series Stella, in the fictional Welsh town of Pontyberry. During its six-season run – which came to an end in 2017 – it was filmed largely in Ferndale, a small town in the Rhondda Valley of South Wales.
