But how many of these shows did you know were filmed at locations around Sheffield, Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham?
The combination of stunning countryside, gritty industrial streets and historic buildings means filmmakers are spoilt for choice in the area.
Only earlier this year, the Titanic actor Kate Winslet was spotted at Sheffield Botanical Gardens filming a new HBO drama called The Regime, which also stars Hugh Grant.
The Full Monty and its recent Disney+ TV reboot, both starring Robert Carlyle, were shot at locations around the city, including Gleadless Valley and the old Ski Village, while Sheffield also makes an appearance in The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, starring Jim Broadbent, which was released earlier this year.
Wentworth Woodhouse, the massive stately home in Rotherham, has been the setting for numerous movies and TV shows, including Darkest Hour, Downton Abbey, The Crown and the new Netflix drama Bodies, starring Stephen Graham.
Ken Loach’s magical 1969 movie, Kes, was filmed in Barnsley, while the old Doncaster Sheffield Airport appeared in BBC drama The Syndicate, and Open All Hours and its follow-up Still Open All Hours were both shot in Balby, Doncaster.
How many of these settings from films and TV shows shot in South Yorkshire, featuring stars from Sean Bean to Nicole Kidman, do you recognise?
1. The Regime - various locations
Filming took place around Sheffield and elsewhere in South Yorkshire during 2023 for a new HBO miniseries called The Regime, starring Kate Winslet and Hugh Grant, which hit screens in spring 2024.

2. Threads - The Moor
This chilling 1984 BBC drama showed the catastrophic impact of a nuclear strike on Sheffield, something which seemed all too possible at the time. Among the locations featured were The Moor (pictured), the Nottingham House pub in Broomhill, Sheffield City Hall and the long-since-demolished Tinsley cooling towers. Photo: Scott Merrylees
3. Reunion - East Bank Road
Reunion is a new BBC thriller which is being filmed at locations across Sheffield, including Hell's Kitchen Diner on East Bank Road, pictured, Crookes Cemetery, and Redmires Road, in Lodge Moor. The four-part drama follows a deaf man who is determined to right his wrongs while unravelling the truth behind the events that led him to prison. The cast includes Anne-Marie Duff, best known for playing Fiona Gallagher in Shameless, and Eddie Marsan, who has appeared in a string of Hollywood films and worked with directors including Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg and J.J. Abrams. | National World Photo: David Kessen
