Supergran was filmed at various locations on Tyneside, including Tynemouth Life Brigade's  watch house.  Her flycycle is on display hanging from the roof of The Land of Green Ginger shopping centre, along with a large TV prop in the shape of an old fashioned camera.  Tynemouth Metro Station featured as Chiselton Station.  The Tyne Theatre was the Chiselton Empire.

One of our local police stations was used a few months ago as Weatherfield Police Station in Corrie, and some of Hetty Wainthrop was filmed on the moors just up the road from here. The 1960s films the Family Way (John and Hayley Mills) and Spring And Port Wine (Susan George) were filmed here in Bolton, as were parts of the film A kind Of Loving. Parts of the old 1934 Gracie Fields film Sing As We Go were also filmed here, in fact the mill featured in the film was where my dad worked in the office and he was also roped in as one of the 'extras'.

There was a tv series several years ago - can't remember the name of it but it was set in Northern Ireland - which was filmed where a couple of streets of terraced house were being demolished, they were supposed to have been destroyed by bombs. Also another area of the town doubled as Beirut in a programme a while ago, and the front of our town hall was the front of some foreign embassy somewhere.

The courtrooms used in "Heartbeat" are in Ripon. They can be visited as part of the three museum tour.

Musn't forget the Rossendale Valley - Bacup - Juliet Bravo, Oranges are the only fruit, Girls Night Out, Hetty Wainthrop, League of Gentlemen - Survivors filmed in Rawtenstall and Haslingden - and a TV thriller I think it was on C4 - can't remember the name but they changed Bacup Library into a police station for the day!

The League of Gentleman was nearly all filmed in Hadfield, Derbyshire. Another place well worth a visit!

I thought it was a documentary!

I love Brid my old fellas had a caravan at south Cliff, I used to love that cafe at the side of the harbour as u walk in from south side, sitting in the top bit but last time i went it was roped off. Damn i was 18 then   ,   used to be black coffee starters, midday breakfast, pub, girls  then back for the nightclub at south cliff. Always seemed to be a minibus from Hull kicking off.    and great people from Leeds

Hi barabbas,

Not sure if it's the same night club, I sometimes do Cabaret or karaoke's at Maki's, which is the first night club on the left as you come in from the main road, but there is another one nearer the beach.

There is a cafe on the left as you go down to the harbour car park, probably the one you are mentioning.
