![]() ![]() Remake of famous BBC series filmed in North Yorkshire for Channel 5 - six episodes and a Xmas special for late 2020. Set in 1937 according to ep 1.01 caption. I was in Grassington during filming 13-16 Oct 2019, so grabbed lots of on-set pictures of cars and stuff. "Village market" set up in the square - stalls, animal pens etc. Definite case of Yorkshire Cliche Bingo for all the flat caps in the crowd, but there were no whippets. Other locations in same area include Arncliffe village (in Littondale valley NW of Grassington - the vets house frontage is in Grassington, but the yard where the Vauxhall and Rover live is Arncliffe), moor top roads between Arncliffe towards Malham, the big posh mansion with butterscotch colour stone is Broughton Hall (on A59 west of Skipton; its grand entrance facade, interior and steading/courtyard are used in different eps). Other filmic oddities - a bookshop in disguise (for IMVegetablePricesdb) - most of the shops were rebranded and given 1930s window displays ![]() - a pillar box which popped up overnight, and then moves around to different positions when no-one's looking. All the yellow parking lines have been sprinkled over with gravel. ![]() - a Kia Ceed in the distance ![]() ...... probably a star's car, or maybe the director's?? ![]() -- Last edit: 2020-09-17 19:44:53 |

Ep 1.02 - impossible-to-capture-properly bike at 06-19![]() ![]() Chuff-chuff ![]() One thing I'm really enjoying about this series - which is otherwise very two-dimensional and predictable - is some stunning photography and compositions - they use the scenery and locations really well and incorporate the vehicles beautifully, so it's a pleasure to watch. |

The production company would not have been aiming to exercise your intellect with this series, but the production values are, as you say, otherwise impeccable. So far, so good, but just one slight whinge, surely the “Mrs. Hall” character is about 100 years too young? |

Nice to see they have 'weathered' a lot of the old vehicles instead of having them looking better than new like most period dramas. That old bus looked a bit too shiny though! |

2020 Xmas special added as ep 1.07. I think it was filmed at same time as rest of S1 in autumn 2019 - uses small selection of same cars, with only one obvious newcomer. |

Have been sent pics for filming underway in Grassington for 2021 Xmas special. Nothing yet for cars appearing, but this weirdo in front of a reformatted shop![]() |

Season 2 (6 eps) now being shown on Channel 5. Opening few minutes of S2 ep1 are captioned "Glasgow 1938" but were filmed in the "Little Germany" district of Bradford. Choo-choo train ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() (filmed on N Yorks railway, near Pickering. The very distinctive valley is a spectacular glacial meltwater channel from the end of the Ice Age which I can still remember from a school geography field trip). |

Ep 2.02 fairly quiet for vehicle appearances - mainly old friends popping up again. A blurry newcomer parked here in the hope that better captures emerge in later eps - small maroon and black thing at night![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() -- Last edit: 2021-10-27 23:41:27 |

Ep 2.04 - not much happened for posting entries One newcomer seen but no clear view ![]() - blue small van (Morris??) with plate starting GF/GP or perhaps GR. So instead here's some fake road signs with imaginary village names ![]() ![]() |

Ep 2.06 (S2 finale) Backgrounds in Arncliffe pretending to be Grassington: - black tourer ![]() ![]() - another maroon and black saloon in distance ![]() ... 3 side windows, spare on running board, impression it was reasonably big - I don't think we've seen it before (but could be wrong) Another fake roadsign ![]() Random wheel in opening scene at garage beside cinema ![]() - looked like a blurry car on first run through |

2021 Xmas special ("ep2.07") had a festively enhanced seasonal title card![]() but no new entries apart from this blue nose ![]() and reappearances of the Vauxhall and (very briefly) the Rover. So instead here's a one-eared rabbit. ![]() |

Ep 3.01 - set spring/summer 1939 as WW2 rumblings start![]() Wedding photographer's camera ![]() Plane for impdb ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() T-7909 info - seems to be Yorkshire-based "Airframe Family: de Havilland DH-82 Tiger Moth Latest Model: Tiger Moth II Last Military Serial: T7909 RAF Construction Number: 84270 Last Civil Registration: G-ANON ... Constructed as a Tiger Moth II. Built in 1941 by Morris Motors Ltd" |

Ep 3.02 - hardly any vehicle action - the Vauxhall and Rover have brief moments, but the rest is very meagre scraps - short glimpse of this maroon & black![]() Ep 3.03 - more action, and this glimpsed thing on a posh horsey stables ![]() ![]() - |

Thumb 1 looks Austin Ten of some kind. The largish saloon in the background looks more Morris-Oxford than Rolls-Royce. -- Last edit: 2022-10-01 08:57:02 |

Ep 3.04 - a few new things and some familiar faces Ep 3.05 - a strange one - darker than usual, with a couple of unexpectedly deep storylines exposed. And nothing for vehicles with wheels and tyres. So here's some choo-choos instead at "Keighley" in West Yorkshire, probably the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway preservation line. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Ep 3.06 - S3 finale and war is declared, so a sombre tone. Mostly familiar faces again, and a handful of new ones. Events will mean that any return for S4 will become less of a cosy little fairy tale and change tone into something more serious. |

Xmas 2022 special entered as ep 3.07. Fairly quiet for vehicle sightings, but one thing I don't think we've seen before in background here![]() Only seen briefly, but if IDable it could get a page. Unless we've already got it .... And there's a bit of a horse transporter ![]() - same posh horsey stables as ep 3.03 glimpses of similar above - also unidentifiable, but different bodywork. Otherwise a few familiar faces reappear, but that's it. Ep uses a lot of witchcraft to make us think it's bleak cold midwinter - lots of artificial bleaching to make it look frosty and icy ![]() ... and snow machines ![]() ... note how the roofs are clear of snow. Finale at Keighley & Worth Valley Railway preservation line, again (see ep3.05 comments above) ![]() with a badly seen chuff-chuff ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() which is K&WVR's Glasgow-built 0-6-2T #85 built for Taff Vale Railway in 1899. |

I wonder if Mr.Perks is still the porter at that station. |
