Heartbeat -The Complete Series 1 to 7: The Rowan Years [DVD] Set during the 1960s this phenomenally popular series stars Nick Berry as a young PC whose work takes him into the heart of community life in a north Yorkshire village.

When filming Mike and Jackie’s wedding episode, when Phil was racing to the ceremony and Mike was changing in the panda car, he leaned on the door handle and nearly fell out, only to be saved by Mark Jordon pulling him back in! PC Alf Ventress, the old, easy-going constable whose local knowledge is vital to the running of Ashfordly Police Station, appears in my books.

The last episode of Heartbeat was broadcast Sunday 12 September 2010, but the much-loved series is not forgotten. In the tales, he was involved in some hilarious yarns, one of which involved flattening a trumpet in a mangle and another of which showed him getting his revenge on some dirty tricksters - and, in the books, he does like Mrs Ventress' hard-boiled eggs! The Heartbeat title refers to an English bobby 'on the beat', the medical stories that are woven into each episode, and the way each programme puts a finger on the pulse of the rural community of Aidensfield.

Series 18 sees Mason and district nurse Carol Cassidy heading to Australia to try to trace former Aidensfield garage mechanic Rosie. The police service had lots of men like Blaketon, good, solid and dependable characters who ran their little police stations with fierce efficiency but who, under a tough exterior, possessed warmth, generosity and kindness.Neil Bolton, a rather serious and somewhat aloof young doctor, has now come to work in the area but his arrival did cause some concern, not least in his estranged wife, Nurse Maggie. With use of video footage and a clever set, this touring production recreated the atmosphere of the 1960s rural Yorkshire settings. When David left the show, he was given an inscribed whisky glass, a painting of Neil’s surgery in Goathland and Neil’s brass plaque from outside the surgery. Bellamy is not in my early books but his part in staffing Ashfordly Police Station, and his never-ending quest for romance, does provide a sparkle to Heartbeat. Clever camera shot, a stunt man and a trailer were used to make it look like Joe was riding his powerful BSA before he passed his test.

In this, the last series of the show, long-running characters such as PC Alf Ventress (William Simons), Oscar Blaketon (Derek Fowlds) and Gina Ward (Tricia Penrose) make their final screen appearances. In some episodes, Fiona had to wear a wig to play Jackie because of the damage that was being done to her own hair with all of the 1960s styling involved.
