Add content advisory. Did you know Edit. Trivia The main filming location Downham near Clitheroe, Lancashire is a privately owned village.

It's owned by Lord and Lady Clitheroe. Every house is rented, and certain modern things are banned from being used in the town by the tenant's contract, for example external aerials and satellite dishes. This keeps the buildings looking like they did many years ago, which is fitting for a series set in the '50s.

User reviews 7 Review. Top review. Another wonderful British family drama. Like Heartbeat, this wonderful bit of nostalgia is certain to entertain those who don't require gun play, gratuitous sex and overacting to keep them enthralled. This is truly a warm cup of cocoa on a quiet evening. While one of the others who criticized this show suggests it took viewers from Heartbeat, I disagree. All the people I know who love Born and Bred also would not miss an Heartbeat episode for the world.

He also sought to offer a comparison to the show "24", which is hardly fitting. Born and Bred is what it is and 24 is what it is and the existence of either one does not take away the enjoyment of the other.

The difference is that both my son and daughter feel warm and positive at the conclusion of such shows as Born and Bred and Heartbeat, a far cry from their reaction to the constant intensity of other action oriented read reliant on fast camera moves, two dimensional characters and flashbacks offerings. Tom and Arthur's relationship deteriorates when Tom gets a job offer from New Zealand - which Arthur promptly steals and exits stage right. As Arthur disappears on a train bound for the port, Phyllis and Deborah discover that Ormston is threatened with demolition.

Only when everyone has abandoned their homes does it come to light that it's an elaborate scam by a con artist who has looted the village. Tom realises he has to go to New Zealand to make peace with his father.

As Deborah and the children excitedly wait for Tom's return from New Zealand she is given the news that he died on the passage back to England; trying to save a boy who fell overboard. Deborah's sister Nancy Brisley Kelly Harrison arrives in the village to help with the children and they are delighted to have their favourite aunt to stay.

The gorgeous and impetuous Nancy sets her sights on Dr Logan and embarks on a number of schemes to snare him. She is frequently disappointed with his lack of attention and believes that it may be Deborah that he desires. Home Explore the BBC. This page has been archived and is no longer updated.
