Huddersfield and Honley are set to feature on the BBC programme, Great British Railway Journeys.
The two areas will hit the small screen on consecutive nights of the latest series of the popular BBC2 show on January 9 and 10.
Filmed last May, the programme is fronted by former cabinet minister Michael Portillo.
The show, now in its fifth series, sees Portillo taking to the tracks across Britain, with a copy of George Bradshaw’s Victorian railway guidebook.
He travels the length and breadth of the country to see how the railways changed us and what of Bradshaw’s Britain remains.
Huddersfield features on Thursday January 9 after Mr Portillo has first travelled along the Worth Valley from Haworth.
Then on the Friday January 10 episode, he takes to the tracks from Honley to Chesterfield.
During filming last year Mr Portillo walked around town with Huddersfield Civic Society official Chris Marsden.
In the Holme Valley he joined Honley Civic Society’s, Peter Marshall for two scenes around the Thirstin and Berry Croft area.
The Honley Band then took up the baton in the band room, with Mr Portillo being introduced to the players and conductor by former band member David Toothill, who offered to show him how to play the euphonium – with mixed success.
The programme’s synopsis says he also visits Holmfirth where he discovers a nineteenth-century tragedy that struck the town and led to a tourist boom on the railways.
The episodes are due to be aired on BBC 2 at 6.30pm on each of the days.
