Scarborough on TV
"Scarborough" has been created by Hull-born writer Derren Litten, previously the creator of the ITV series "Benidorm".
The series is being shown on BBC1 on Fridays at 9.30pm.
The comedy series follows the lives, loves and karaoke of a handful of Scarborough residents.
While there are plenty of attractive clips of Scarborough between scenes and some location shooting in the town, some scenes were not even in Yorkshire but, sadly, in a street in Stockport, Greater Manchester. The hair salon Geraldine’s of Scarborough is actually a shop in Great Underbank in Stockport.
