00:00 Can we please what you think the best film or TV program has been that's been set in Sheffield?
00:04 I'd probably go for the Full Monty, the original one back in the day, just a good fair representation of what Sheffield used to be back then.
00:13 Can we please what the best film or television program has been that's been set in Sheffield?
00:17 So I'm a big fan of the Full Monty, the film, and then most recently the Full Monty the series.
00:24 I think it was on Disney+ very cleverly sort of taking the story 25 years further down the line, so basically in the here and now.
00:34 And it refers back straight to the 80s and all the economic and social problems we had then are replicated in the storylines today in the TV series.
00:45 So that's a must-see for Sheffielders, I think.
00:47 Which do you prefer, the film or the TV series?
00:49 Both, they're very different. I think the Full Monty, the first one, had a sort of "oh, this has never been done" effect.
00:57 And the series is really clever because it sort of does a bit of a flashback to what happened in the 80s.
01:06 Can we please what the best film or television program has been that's been set in Sheffield?
01:12 It has to be the Full Monty, the original Full Monty set in Sheffield.
01:15 It's really interesting to watch it and then see how everything's changed, how one of the main buildings that's in the beginning when they're stealing the big piece of iron is actually now a pub or is it a bar?
01:25 The Temple of Church something bar? I think that's quite cool.
01:30 Can we please what the best film or television program has been set in Sheffield?
01:35 It might not be the best, but one thing that does ring a bell was Threads.
01:41 I'm showing my age now, but I remember that being really atmospheric and quite something that's lived in my memory a long time.
01:49 Could you tell me please what you think the best film or TV program that's been set in Sheffield has been?
01:55 I think we've probably got to say the Full Monty. I saw it again recently and you forget how funny it was at the time.
02:05 Can we please what the best film or television program that's been set in Sheffield?
02:12 Probably going to have to go with This is England. It's going to have to be.
02:16 It was filmed at Norton College and I went there, so I'd say that one.
