TV series filmed in Middlesbrough

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Middlesbrough 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.

  • Atonement 2007
  • Billy Elliot 2000
    “The mining scenes were filmed at the Ellington and Lynemouth Colliery in Northumberland, with some filming in Dawdon, Middlesbrough and Newcastle upon Tyne.” Wikipedia

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

Named here by Middlesbrough’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Middlesbrough, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.
