First shown in 1997, it was created by Ashley Pharoah and Vicky Featherstone. One of ITV's longest-running shows, "Where the Heart Is" was known for being what has been described as a for former soap stars, including Thelma Barlow, Sarah Lancashire, Philip Middlemiss, Samantha Giles, Kerrie Taylor, and Shobna Gulati.

In October 2006, the series was cancelled after nine years, despite viewing figures of well over 7 million. [ [http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds38099.html Soaps - News - 'Where The Heart Is' axed after a decade - Digital Spy ] ]

The series was filmed in the Colne and Holme valleys of Huddersfield in West Yorkshire using the real life villages of Marsden, Slaithwaite and Meltham for many of the external shots. The First series was mostly filmed in Slaithwaite, but from series 2 onwards, they used Marsden as their main and home filming location.

Stars: Sarah Lancashire, Pam Ferris, Leslie Ash, Denise Van Outen plus many more

Creators: Vicky Featherstone, Ashley Pharoah

The lowdown: This heart-warming prime-time drama features the loves and lives of families living in the small Yorkshire town of Skelthwaite. The first series focuses on two hard-working district nurses, Peggy Snow (Pam Ferris) and her sister-in-law Ruth Goddard (Sarah Lancashire). The plots gradually branch out to take in the wider community with each new series. Newer lead characters include Karen Buckley (Leslie Ash), glamorous single mum Kim Blakeney (Denise Van Outen) and the new sister at the health centre Anna Kirkwall (Lesley Dunlop).

Memorable moments: There is high drama for the Snow family when Peggy and her daughter Lucy fight for life following a car accident. Several lead characters also meet a sticky end: from being killed in a house fire to death by runaway horse.

Trivia: A single episode of Where the Heart Is took 11 days to film and another five weeks in post production. Pam Ferris and Sarah Lancashire were both nominated for National TV Awards after the first two series.

Rugby League was frequently featured in the series and was mainly made up from players from Brighouse Rangers Amateur Rugby League Club.
