Maybe reference England, rather than the UK, for the Calais answer? Otherwise several French cities are closer to the Channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey.

Like the Isle of Man, they are Crown Dependencies. Self-governing, but possessions of the crown. So Kalleanon is correct, they are not part of the UK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_Dependencies

Disappointed to only get 3 points (17-of-20), but pleased to have gotten the least-guessed answer, Pitcairn Island. (that always seems to be a very nice consolation prize when you don't do particularly well)

That took some head scratching, having tried Christmas, Tahiti, Cook Islands, until I remembered it from the movie, in the end.

I nearly got 20, but I didn't know how to spell Swansea. I spelt it 'Swansee', I think that should be a type in.
