Film maker John Madden (Shakespeare in Love, Mrs. Brown, Captain Corelli's Mandolin) made his first feature film for the BBC, Poppyland (1985), around the story of Scott's visit to Poppyland.
Directed by John Madden, it took place in Overstrand and tells the story of Clement Scott in his travels there.

The London journalist and travel writer Clement Scott came to Overstrand in 1883, christened the area ‘’Poppyland’’, and wrote about the church tower on the cliff edge and its “Garden of Sleep”.
The area was immortalised as "Poppyland" in the writings of the Victorian journalist Clement Scott.
