Bristol has been the underdog location outside of London in the TV and film industry when it comes to filming. The city built its reputation as an on-screen location through shows like Only Fools and Horses, Skins and Sherlock.
It was also the home of Casulty for nearly 30 years. You can see an interactive map of some of these locations on the Bristol Film Office website, which has been working hard to make Bristol one of the UK’s most film-friendly cities.
Today, it's rare to walk through the city centre without seeing a production crew shooting a scene for the latest limited drama series. Bristol Film Office, run by Bristol City Council, has invested in broadening the city's potential for on-screen production including the expansion of The Bottle Yard Studios to TBY2, a premium facility in Hengrove that opened in 2022.
