I Watched the series when it was shown first time round on the telly. There was one particular episode of the show where they got hold of an Ice-cream van which showed the name "Brookes, Normanton" And if you are wondering where Normanton is well it is not that close to Doncaster, actually it is near Wakefield in West Yorkshire and not South Yorkshire. When I was young Brookes had two identical Ice-cream Vans and eventually the BBC ended up with one of them which they used and blew up in the episode.I was very proud in a way that Normanton had five minutes of fame. It is not only time, but the first time. Apparently Normanton has a well known celebrity born here, but I won't say just in case the facts are wrong. I don't like to get into bother if the facts are wrong.
