Many
of the most popular television programmes ever to have been
appeared on British television have been made on location
in Manchester. From the longest running and still the most
popular soap opera of the lot in Coronation Street, to the
biggest comedy drama ever in Cold Feet; from the popular
Queer As Folk, Clocking Off and Cutting It series to the
almost national events that became of each episode of Cracker
and Prime Suspect - they were all filmed here. Comedies
such as Phoenix Nights, The Royle Family and Early Doors
couldn't have possibly been located anywhere other than
Manchester. The amazing landscape and architecture, coupled
with the warm Mancunian sense of humour makes TV programmes
filmed in Manchester that little bit more special. |
