Kevin Boorman, marketing and major projects manager at Hastings Borough Council said: “Filming generates a considerable amount of income for the council, both from the facility fee we charge, and for the use of our amenities such as parking, which we are also paid for.
“Many residents, and some visitors, also like ‘location spotting’ when the town features in a major drama such as this.”
