When was George Gently made?
I grew up in a village next to Durham called Penshaw and being back home with the Gently cast was just magic. We had filmed the first three series in Ireland, where I live now, and it was always strange to walk on to the set in Dublin and see maps, pictures and documents from my home town, especially 1960s ones.
