Higgar Tor in C4 student sitcom Fresh Meat:
Bits of monty python and holy grail were filmed in the Welsh slate quarries i think.
I’ve been turned off (gently asked if I could do my climbing elsewhere) twice by Emmerdale filming at das Cliff

https://youtu.be/ZKAahOOxy6M?t=5755The Night Digger from 1971. Never watched it but the crag cameo is the finale at 1 hour 36 mins. Any guesses where?
ITV set a police soap opera in Widnes/Runcorn. The opening episode featured a chase through the little wood on top of Pex, though you would have thought they were running through a vast forest from the way it was edited.

I recall around the early '90s a bunch of Llanberis climbers were extras in a film that was (partly) shot in Nant Gwynant. Dunno if Elephantitus Cave or Clogwyn y Wenallt were in it. Does anyone remember the film?

Guessing that’s not the one you mean though.
Weren't the llanberis slate quarries used in some 80's fantasy type thing? (Krull???). I'm sure I heard/read about loads of skulls being left up there after filming???...
Did anyone recognise the grit crag featured in Doctor Who on Sunday?

There was loads of work around and, yes, the quarries were littered with props.
