The city’s combination of gritty industrial heritage, the romantic landscape of the Peak District and atmospheric brutalist architecture like the iconic Park Hill flats have long made it an attractive option for film crews.
But how many of these settings do you recognise from films and TV dramas in which Sheffield has played a starring role over the years?
5. Billionaire Boy
This TV adaptation of David Walliams' best-selling rags-to-riches book was filmed largely in Sheffield and Rotherham, and starred Doncaster schoolboy Elliot Sprakes. Filming took place at Wentworth House and Oakwood High School in Rotherham, and at a newsagents on Rochester Road in Lodge Moor, Sheffield (pictured) Photo: Margaret Kessen
6. A Brilliant Young Mind
This 2014 drama about a troubled teenage maths prodigy whose life changes when he is chosen to represent Britain at the International Mathematic Olympiad was filmed in Sheffield and Taiwan. In Sheffield, King Edward VII School and High Storrs School both feature in the film, which starred Asa Butterfield, Sally Hawkins and Rafe Spall Photo: Marisa Cashill
7. When Saturday Comes
Sheffield United fan Sean Bean got to live out his fantasy in this classic football drama as brewery worker Jimmy Muir, who enjoys a meteoric rise through the leagues to play for the Blades. Bramall Lane features, naturally, as does Hallam FC's Sandygate Road ground, which is the world's oldest, and what was the Stones brewery (pictured) on Rutland Road, along with numerous other locations across the city Photo: Sheffield Newspapers
8. Doctor Who
Sheffield has played a starring role in series 11 and 12 of Doctor Who, with scenes being shot everywhere from the pictureque Peak District to the more industrial setting beneath the cranes at Wincobank, but it is the Park Hill flats and surrounding spots like Park Square bridge (pictured) which have featured most prominently Photo: Steve Ellis
