The Bristol Film Office has made it easy to retrace the footsteps of the stars and put together an online Google Movie Map pinpointing such sites as the tense Guy Fawkes moment in ‘The Empty Hearse’ (series 3), the eerie encounter in the maze with The Bride (Christmas special) and John Watson's memorable wedding in 'The Sign of Three' (Series 3).
