Masham often hosts Heartbeat and many other filming projects. The pictures shown were taken during July 2006 in Masham outside the Town hall.

“Miss Yorkshire” is the main scene with the contestants, the objectors and the ever present Police constables.

Only nine miles from Whitby lies the village of Goathland, setting for Yorkshire Television's flagship drama 'Heartbeat'. A mixture of stunning scenery and 1960's nostalgia and music has sent the show to the top of the TV ratings, pulling in regular audiences of 18 million viewers. 'Heartbeat' has become one of the television success stories of the 90's.
