It’s about some veterinarians in the 30’s. It’s slow, doesn’t have any sex, violence, or profanity. It’s wholesome. It’s filmed in the absolutely gorgeous Yorkshire Dales. We love it and have already watched 2.5 seasons in 3 nights.

    Sorry to tell you but it’s all shot on green screen.

    Northern England is a desolate wasteland full of ne’erdowells, rogues and naves. Everything is decaying mining towns and abandoned shipyards. The kids are, er, feral and will mug you for your shoes, and, er, hmm, other stuff.

    You don’t want to come here, honest.

    Source: I live in Newcastle, a famously dead town with absolutely nothing to offer, and definitely no nice pubs or architecture, where the locals literally eat outsiders.

      How lucky you are. We’re talking about visiting this or next summer. It would be a huge trip for us, so idk how likely it is, but we’re talking about it. I was checking out the website for the Dales this morning.

        If you do definitely go see Conisbrough Castle and York, lots of neat stuff in York. The Holiday Inn in Harmsworth isnt bad at all, has a car park and a nice pool.

      I have no idea if this is serious or not. I think it is, but what?!?

        I mean look, if there really was countryside like they portray in the show, do you really think, in real life, everyone would stay in London all the time, and then holiday on some Spanish island?

        Nothing that idilic and dream like is real, I mean, that’s sort of the point of the overall story, but I don’t want to spoil it if you haven’t read the books so I better stop there.

        Thanks, glad someone finally realised, season 2 episode 9 (maybe 10?)when James has to attend a callout near Whitby as some jet addicts obstruct a cow.
