Gentleman and the wealthy were exempt from the press gangs of the time and it was extremely rare for them to head in land. Usually 'pressing' drunkards in the coastal taverns. For a great movie that deals with Naval press gangs you need to check out 'HMS Defiant' starring Alec Guinness and Dirk Bogart.
@ghostofmjackson Well, believe it or not, Patrick McGoohan was born in Astoria, New York, making him an American. I don't think the others are American, but I'm very sure he is.
I always loved this show.....I am curious about the "press gangs". I assume that they never went into wealthy areas and grabbed the rich.....is that correct?
I thought they Hung out by the Pubs So They were easy Pickings after a Night out with the Boys! The One Fellow is a little off Key! Pretty slick of The scarecrow to Scatter the Men! In his own Church!
@Setebos Yes Thank you! I couldn't remember what it was called. I still want the pipe though!...LOL Im an olde renassaince faire goer from way back lol. Im trying to work on a colonial outfit at the moment again Thank you for your input God bless.
@MichaelIanHenry --- good luck on your outfit. I admire people who go the extra mile for the sake of authenticity. I'm not certain, but one should be able to find a churchwarden somewhere (in fact, a renaissance faire would be a good place to look).
Its a same that all the actors are American. Shouldn't they be English and it be filmed in the area of the Romney Marshes seeing as it is surpose to based on the Romeny Marshes.
the same thing happened in "The Man Who Knew Too Much" When Stewart sings a message to Day at Ambrose Chapel,where they went to find their kidnapped son!

Patrick Magoohan is a UK actor, not everyone is a yank, this show is still awesome though. Oh and yes it was fimed at the Romney Marsh by the way.
