How many times have you spotted a Huddersfield location in your favourite TV shows?

A fair few we'd bet - it seems directors and TV crews have taken a shine to the town's scenic spots over the years.

The latest Huddersfield-based show is a new three-part mystery called Remember Me, which starts on Sunday. Monty Python star Michael Palin, 70, plays elderly Tom Parfitt, a frail Yorkshireman whose admittance to a nursing home triggers a series of inexplicable events.

Last month film crews were at the former Kirklees College campus in New North Road to make a new drama called Black Work, starring Sheridan Smith.

From Last of the Summer Wine's Holmfirth setting, to the appearance of Brooke's Mill in Armitage Mill in BBC One's gangster drama Peaky Blinders, TV history has seen actors from both the big and small screen descend on Huddersfield.
