That is in the real world. Wessex occurs in fiction sometimes as an
English county name, e.g. in some novels by Hardy. West Harlington is
undeniably a place name in the UFO series. If [placename]-[man's
name] looks odd as a movie studio name, well, we are stuck with that,
and this point may as well be added to the list of UFO nitpicks.
