It certainly seems to be a case of ‘lights, camera, action!' for Bristol’s thriving TV and film sector of late. In recent years a series of screen hits for major broadcasters and streamers have been made around the city, as well as at its growing number of leading production and animation studios. Daisy May Cooper’s comedy Am I Being Unreasonable?, and BBC thrillers Chloe and The Girl Before to name but a few.
Broadcaster Channel 4 opened a regional creative hub in Bristol in 2019 as part of a commitment to commission more shows outside of London.
Bristol is of course no stranger to the cameras. The exterior shots of the house where Vyvyan, Rick, Neil and Mike lived in 1980s sitcom The Young Ones were filmed there, while the city also masqueraded as Peckham for Del Boy and Rodney’s adventures in Only Fool and Horses.
