Trivia
The main filming location Downham near Clitheroe, Lancashire is a privately owned village. It's owned by Lord and Lady Clitheroe. Every house is rented, and certain modern things are banned from being used in the town by the tenant's contract, for example external aerials and satellite dishes. This keeps the buildings looking like they did many years ago, which is fitting for a series set in the '50s.

From the sublime to the ridiculous!

For 20 years, this series stuck with me as being a fave, but I must have a selective memory as when it was finally able to rewatch, I was surprised by all slapstick (which I hate) and implied sex (no good for autistic relative in household). However, the beautiful, touching moments and the all age-cast mean it is great for re-watching at different stages in life as I'll never grow out of it, like many other shows. I think they handled the cast changes well, and actually prefer the later episodes, but sadly Born and Bred lost one million viewers every season, so never came back for a fifth. I think there would be more appetite for this feel good comedy-drama in these tricky times today.
