YTV ,when filming a lot of their outdoor drama, never seem to want to wander beyond Cardigan Rd!!      I watched a bit for the first time tonight. The scene was a deliberate collision and a fight. The background to me looked like the former Sunwin House in Bradford.

Most of the interior shots were done in a different house further up the road towards the school. The basement scenes were shot elsewhere.In answer to the other question, I was unable to say were it was shot until after broadcast due to the contract we had signed with the production company for the use of our house.

They've been filming the next episodes of DCI Banks in Otley over the last couple of weeks. Several scenes were shot in the market place, including the Black Bull, New Inn Court and Bay Horse Court.I think they go out in October.

They've also been filming DCI Banks in Brighouse, but that's a bit off our patch isn't it?Filming is also going on at Riverside West on Whitehall Road this week (the last new office building before the river as you head out of the City), but I don't know what programme it was for.

These scenes I witnessed being filmed in May went out last week in part one of "Friend of the Devil." The geography of Otley has been altered somewhat - entering New Inn Court between the Black Bull and Superdrug now brings you out behind the Bay Horse, facing in the opposite direction.

They also used Otley's Wharfedale General Hospital, with the old infirmary/workhouse in the background.
