Omletina Kyckling Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 This Tuesday's Hairy Biker's Programme (9pm BBC2) is filmed in my area.....it's centred in Slaithwaite which is the village at the bottom of the valley from where I am (and where I used to live, by the canal), but they also film in my neighbour's house!! Her name is Sharon and she has dark brown hair! It's quite funny actually because the evening they filmed at her house, me and Couperwife were sat outside in my garden, quaffing wine (as we often do!!!) and we managed to miss the Hairy Bikers, on their bikes, and a full film crew turning up, filming and leaving!!! Couldn't believe it when I heard the next day! I saw them several times after that around the valley, filming. So if you want to see some lovely Yorkshire countryside and plain speaking folk, tune in!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I still cant believe I missed them (I have a bit of a "thing" for Si King ) I will definitely be tuning in cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omletina Kyckling Posted September 25, 2011 Author Share Posted September 25, 2011 ....................for anybody who used to watch "Where the Heart is", the drama about the district nurses, Slaithwaite is the fictional "Skelthwaite" in the programme.....they also used to film lots of "Last of the Summer Wine" in Slaithwaite and surrounding hills, as Holmfirth became too touristy!!

Reikiranf Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 It rather begs the question just how much wine did you quaff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Palmer Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 They also came and filmed where I live AND Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall also visited the Day Centre on the same day. I knew nothing about either until I read about it in the local paper. You can miss all sorts going on right under your nose.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Oh, Slaithwaite is lovely, such a pity I'm unlikely to watch that show (as far as I'm aware it's not shown here). One of my oldest (as in duration of friendship- we went to primary school together) & dearest friends is a dairy farmer in Slaithwaite..... if you get doorstep milk deliveries it could well be from my friends cows!! I know they have a thriving local milk round. I do love Yorkshire though......even though I was actually brought up in Lancashire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I do love Yorkshire though......even though I was actually brought up in Lancashire. Same here. I was all fired up to volunteer, having watched the programmes, but of course, they have a different system here. Cheap and frozen no doubt.

Snowy Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I don't believe it! I'm just watching it and said to hubby, that lane looks just like where Omletina lives!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 I don't believe it! I'm just watching it and said to hubby, that lane looks just like where Omletina lives!! That's cos it was!!! Well recognised!! The bit where the Sally Ann woman got stuck on the cobbles was right below me and my garden wall was alongside her.....surprised a hen wasn't peering down at her. When they were down by the canal where the centre was they kept going past my house on the canal(which I used to live in but now rent out) Further coincidence, Sally Ann used to be my tenant and was a bit of a wild child!! Mrs Clegg the outspoken old lady lived next door. Sharon whose tea loaf won is my neighbour now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 Egluntyne, Fluffyfeet and Couperwife will remember the steep bendy cobbles cos they walked down and back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 It was a great episode, lovely to see familiar places - even if only fleetingly familiar for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Egluntyne, Fluffyfeet and Couperwife will remember the steep bendy cobbles cos they walked down and back! I do indeed. My thighs are still aching and it must have been 3 months ago. Have sky plussed the programme so will be shrieking at it later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I could record it onto a DVD and post on to you if you'd like it? Oh, thank you Omletina, that is such a kind offer. But I couldn't expect you to post anything over here, besides, unfortunately, we have a different DVD system, NZ are on a different region to UK ones & I'm not sure what the difference is, but it does mean that most UK dvds won't play over here. Thanks again for your kindness though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
