The Ridings of Yorkshire -

Television & Films

Film & Television locations are vast in Yorkshire and the list Below contains some of the most popular television programmes and films. Many productions are shot and in a variety of locations, so this is not a definitive list rather a work in progress.
What images do you conjure up when thinking of Yorkshire? the rolling lush green hills and desolate moors, gritty industrial cities or panoramic views of the dales with surrounding landscape full of contrasts, this as been for a long time a favourite stop for filmmakers. Think about major movies made in Yorkshire and what are the first films that spring to mind? The usual suspects most people would point to are probably Brassed Off, The Full Monty, Calendar Girls and – turning the clock back a decade or two – Billy Liar. But delve a little deeper beneath the surface and Yorkshire is a gold mine of movie myths, Hollywood legends and surprising film facts. For instance, did you know that Bette Davis, Paul Newman, Sophia Loren, David Niven and Morgan Freeman have all filmed scenes for major Hollywood blockbusters in the county? the list of movie legends is endlessIn a recent poll by the Film Distributors Association on the most atmospheric use of location in British cinema, four of the top ten films were set in Yorkshire, proving that Yorkshire has a rich and recognisable heritage in film.

“It's not surprising Yorkshire has a rich film heritage when you realise film was invented here in Leeds in 1888. It wasn't invented in Hollywood or France – the first moving pictures were shown right here in Yorkshire.”
