The Green Man is a three-part BBC TV adaptation of Kingsley Amis's 1969 novel of the same name, first broadcast on BBC1 from 28 October to 11 November 1990 and starring Albert Finney as the main character Maurice.
Maurice Allington is the owner of "The Green Man", a country inn that he claims is haunted by ghosts. He is usually either frightening guests with his ghost stories, or trying to seduce them, but he slowly comes to realise that some of his stories may be true.
The serial was filmed on location with West Dorset doubling as the Cambridgeshire area[1] and Up Cerne Manor House (and possibly Dominey's Yard by Buckland Newton) representing The Green Man hotel and other exteriors.[2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
The series won the 1991 BAFTA for Best Original Television Music (by Tim Souster), Finney was nominated for Best Actor, and Masahiro Hirakubo was nominated for Best Film Editor.
