Storyline Edit. Constable Nick Rowan is a English Policeman in the 's who decides to be reassigned to the same small village where his wife was born. There, he patrols the countryside as a part of a small attachment in the area dealing with the various events and problems that come up while at same time keeping a eye on Claude Greengrass, the local rogue.
Did you know Edit. Trivia In the earlier episodes, when George Ward Stuart Golland was in charge of the Aidensfield Arms, it was mentioned on several occasions that the fire in the bar had never been allowed to go out since the pub first opened.
This was based on the real-life tradition at The Legendary Saltersgate Inn on the Whitby-Pickering road near the Hole of Horcum, a few miles from Goathland, where the Aidensfield village scenes were filmed. It was said that the fire at the Saltersgate stayed lit for over two hundred years, reputedly because an early publican had killed a customs officer and buried his body beneath the fireplace, and then lit a fire to avoid the hiding place being detected. Goofs In the opening titles for Series 18, a shot of David's maroon lorry has been reversed: the lettering on the number-plate is a mirror image.
Quotes Claude Jeremiah Greengrass : I'm nearly an old age pensioner! User reviews 27 Review. Top review. A familiar, lovable favourite. I can understand those concerns with the show, rolling my eyes at the fact that the show was first set in and has now been going about 14 years.
It might not have been on our screens since , but many are loving a second dose of Heartbeat thanks to ITV reshowing classic episodes each weeknight. While the nostalgia was no doubt welcomed by many who enjoyed watching the show the first time around, we couldn't help but wonder why the police drama was cancelled in the first place?
We did some investigating and here's what we know In June , a month before series 18 was released, it was announced that the upcoming season was to be the last. A spokesperson at ITV explained that the channel was looking to "refresh" the programmes shown. An ITV spokesman said: "We are overhauling our schedule to reflect the changing demands of our audience [and] refreshing the mix of programming we commission and broadcast.
Last January, ITV said production of the show had been suspended. At the time, the broadcaster said it wanted to clear a stockpile of unbroadcast episodes before filming resumed. On Friday, ITV said the decision to cancel the series was not based on saving money, but was part of boss Peter Fincham's plans to overhaul the channel's output. Most of the outdoor scenes are filmed in the small village of Goatland which is renamed Aidensfield.
I Have been in the pub, the shops, the garage and on the train on a day trip!! The main police station is set in the nearest small town, the name of which slips my mind at the moment. Some scenes are set in the real seaside town of Whitby. Almost all of the cast have changed. I used to like Greengrass but is successors have been a bit too pushy for my liking. One strange thing is that when Alf Ventress was in uniform , he had no medals on his jackets even though one episode was all about his war service in the marines.
Retro and charming! Stibbert 17 September Heartbeat follows the residents of a little village on the English countryside during the 60's. This has made a retro and charming piece of television for well over 10 years and is still going good. The plots are not of the most original kind, but the characters and the setting is just lovely. Then there is the various everyday life characters.
It's all together a nice mix. It makes something for various tastes and it gives variety in the story line. The acting is pretty good and so is the directing. The cinematography is nice and the music is the final touch. Using authentic 60's music gives you the right feel. It works really good. They manage to keep the story thrilling and keep you watching. While it may have lost quality over the years it's still a decent series. There has been a massive replacement of characters, but after more then ten years you can't expect anything else.
The replacements, however, does a good job. They may seem like copies of their predecessors and as a result the series has stayed pretty much the same for more then ten years, witch may or may not be a bad thing. Now, this series offers nothing new, but it offers a nice piece of entertainment that never fails!
Rachel spoils a great TV series, an arrogant clown. Enjoyable English s nostalgia penseur 3 April This TV series manages to combine all the elements that make for a pleasant and at times absorbing hour in front of the TV - good varied characters, a range of occupations, although of course the policemen dominate, creative and simultaneously plausible story lines - usually one serious criminal occurrence and one lighthearted theme per episode - and all of it set in rural English village landscape Yorkshire which looks very nice and a contrast from urban Britain which I find mostly quite dreary and depressing.
The s seem a long time ago now, before Britain joined the EEC, when it still used non-decimal currency and imperial measurements, when it was still largely "monocultural", and when there were still steam trains. There are also those dinky British 60s cars, motorbikes and trucks that everyone gets around in, miniskirts and pop hits of the time on the soundtrack.
What more could you ask for? Another commentator says it screens in the UK on Sunday nights - here it has always screened early on Saturday afternoons which isn't exactly prime time, a pity. Heart beat New Sergent, New broom sweeps clean! There is a new Sergeant in Adensfeild, and he is a strict man! Walker to you and me, about a robbery that was going to take place at that stately home. I wonder how Merton would of handled that tip off? John Duttine is still a brilliant actor after all this time, since !
People power showed Sgt miller that they were not going to let him close the police house. I remembered the Ford Zeypher 6 police car from when I was a child and I laughed out loud at the condition it was at the end of the trail period. I like Gina in the Adensfeild arms pub and Oscar Blaketon it was a shame that he had to retire from being a Sergent due to a heart attack if viewers remember. I also think that Ventress is a good civilian to have in the Police station he did not do much work when he was a copper, but he is making up for it now, by answering the phones.
I also can see my Bush radio in the police house! I also like the music on this programme. None of this rushing about, trying to get things done! If I had a time machine, I would go to , up to and stop there. The end is nigh and I wouldn't be so surprised jubilee77 3 February By the time I issued these comments, it had been announced that the popular series would gather dust on a shelf and so the end is nigh and I wouldn't be all that surprised.
In part, the decision to axe the series was made due to its sinking popularity and much had been said about Heartbeat throughout its production run spanning 1. With the same plots, it has to be said that most viewers around the box were becoming increasingly tired and frustrated and its now simply lacking the original on what was once a more gentle-natured series.
Even so, its becoming increasingly violent and depressing with lack of ideas and bad story lines. Even Lovejoy's Ian McShane once commented about Heartbeat being a soap and who would try to get him wrong nowadays with its gradual fall from grace in the TV guides and critics choice. I don't rate Heartbeat especially. It's yet one more TV series exploiting the songs of the sixties but for the most part, it Could have been set in any period. It doesn't know what it is either. Is it a police drama?
Medical drama? Social drama?
