I must say .. a campervan was so obviously going to be stopped that my amazement to that story was how did it get as far as Cumbria before it was intercepted?

Apparently there were a few more today. One from Leicester was turned back.

While we have a few more minutes than usual to perhaps sofa surf and watch the telly box, I'd appreciate a selection of films or series that were filmed in and around Cumbria - at least I can try to spot a location or at the very least enjoy the scenery.

TV companies seem to making old series and films available for the time being, so seems like a good opportunity.

Have we got any favourites or recommendations? Name and location(s) please, particularly if there's some from a few years ago that we might have forgotten about.

Obviously, from the recent past:
The A Word - various, incl Keswick, Broughton in Furness

This isn't really answering your question other than indirectly in offering alternative "pass times".

Books:
Richard Adams - The Plague Dogs
Melvyn Bragg - The Maid of Buttermere

Two classics, of course.

Happy with books also, time fillers all..!

The film Miss Potter was good for scenery I recall.

Swallows and Amazons - of course! I remember seeing Bank Ground Farm from the route of the Coniston 14.

Somewhere you can confidently ask "which is the best chip shop in Keswick?" and expect an intelligent reply.

Lots of experience and good advice available here, from which B & B or YHA to the best fell for Grandma to climb :-)
