"Playing the Field" was a BBC television drama series which ran for five series from 1998 - 2002. It followed the off-the-field lives of a women's soccer team, the "Castlefield Blues". It was written by, among others, Kay Mellor. The series was inspired by the book "I Lost My Heart To The Belles", written by Pete Davies, about the real-life Doncaster Belles.Although the series was based in South Yorkshire, it was filmed in Ilkeston in Derbyshire.

The cast included James Ellis, James Nesbitt, John Thomson, Lesley Sharp, Ricky Tomlinson and Debra Stephenson. Another cast member, Marsha Thomason, found fame in the U.S., starring in the show "Las Vegas".

The theme song was written and recorded by Alison Moyet. The song, "Blue," was about Moyet's love of Southend United Football Club and originally a B-side.
