Movies and TV series filmed in Manchester

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Manchester as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

Movies and TV series filmed elsewhere in Manchester

1 production shot at 4 places inside Manchester, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against Manchester itself.

Ted Lasso Old Trafford per Wikipedia 2020–2023

Set here

Anime that take place here. Nothing drawn was ever filmed here, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood — a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.

Steamboy 2004

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Manchester, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement — two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
