South Tyneside has regularly been the setting for TV and film productions.

Who remembers when all these shows were filmed in the area?

We have lots of retro reminders of the day the cameras arrived and they include everything from crime series to comedies and children’s shows. We have Robson Green, David Dickinson and Joe McElderry amongst the famous stars who have filmed in the borough.

How many do you recall? Have a browse through our nostalgic selection.
