===Filming=== ''Hi-de-Hi!'' relied on BBC studios for interior scenes for the entertainment staff building and interior chalet rooms, but much of the exterior scenes for Maplins were shot at Warners' former holiday camp that operated within the town of [[Dovercourt]] near [[Harwich]], Essex; the site is now a housing estate after the camp was closed in 1990. During the pilot episode and the first two series, filming at the camp was done in early spring before the main holiday period for the public during the summer months β the temperature at the time led to complaints by cast members; Jeffrey Holland in particular had to be treated for [[hypothermia]] owing to scenes that saw him thrown into the camp's pool. Other locations around Essex were used during the show's filming, including around the town of [[Manningtree]]; and a couple of episodes were filmed at [[Weybourne railway station]] on the [[North Norfolk Railway]] (also used in ''[[Dad's Army]]'').
