Of interest is the mention of "inevitable traffic jams" on the Strood side of Rochester Bridge, the novel being written some years prior to the construction of the M2 motorway Medway bypass. Rochester is the setting of the controversial 1965 Peter Watkins television film "The War Game", which depicts the town's destruction by a nuclear missile. The opening sequence was shot in Chatham Town Hall, but the credits particularly thank the people of Dover, Gravesend and Tonbridge. The 2011 adventure film "Ironclad" is based upon the 1215 siege of Rochester Castle. There are however areas where the plot differs from accepted historical narrative. The historic city was for many years the favourite of Charles Dickens, who lived within the diocese at nearby Gads Hill Place, Higham, many of his novels being based on the area. Descriptions of the town appear in "Pickwick Papers", "Great Expectations" and (lightly fictionalised as "Cloisterham") in "The Mystery of Edwin Drood". Elements of two houses in Rochester, Satis House and Restoration House, are used for Miss Havisham's house in "Great Expectations", Satis House. The actress Dame Sybil Thorndike and her brother Russell were brought up in Minor Canon Row adjacent to the cathedral; the daughter of a canon of Rochester Cathedral, she was educated at Rochester Grammar School for Girls. A local doctors' practice, local dental practice and a hall at Rochester Grammar School are all named after her. Sir Peter Buck was Admiral of the Medway in the 17th century; knighted in 1603 he and Bishop Barlow hosted King James, the Stuart royal family and the King of Denmark in 1606. A civil servant to The Royal Dockyard and Lord High Admiral, Buck lived at Eastgate House, Rochester. Major-General Denis Redman, a World War II veteran, was born and raised in Rochester and later became a founder member of REME, head of his Corps and a Major-General in the British Army. The model and actress Kelly Brook went to Delce Junior School in Rochester and later the Thomas Aveling School (formerly Warren Wood Girls School). Medway council run a selective system of education, similar to other local authorities in Kent, but call their secondary modern schools "secondary schools". Almost all secondary schools in Rochester have opted for academy status. In 1701, Sir Joseph Williamson left a bequest to establish the Mathematical School, a boys' grammar school, also referred to either as "Rochester Math" or "The Math School".
