The announcement has come as the BBC launches its Made Of Here campaign to celebrate its commitment to supporting homegrown storytelling.
At the heart of the campaign is a compelling new film; the BBC’s love letter to the home towns and cities across the UK that have inspired some of its most iconic TV shows and characters.
The campaign comes as the BBC’s new season schedule gets underway, which includes Sally Wainwright’s Riot Women, set and filmed in Hebden Bridge.
The new film for the Made Of Here campaign has been shot across the UK, from Shetland to Kimmeridge Bay. We filmed with 96 local cast and worked with 120 local crew across all our filming locations.
The film is set to the soundtrack of a bespoke version of Myles Smith’s My Home by Alex Baranowski, showing local landmarks and playing out spine-tingling scenes from some of the BBC’s best-loved shows.
Myles Smith, whose track features in the film, says: “It means a lot to me when my music makes an impact, so it’s very special to hear My Home soundtrack this powerful and important celebration of UK storytelling."
Kate Phillips, BBC Chief Content Officer, says: “The BBC is incredibly proud of the leading role we play in bringing the best homegrown storytelling to our audiences, whether that’s in landmark dramas, laugh-out-loud comedies or memorable factual programmes.
“We know that our audiences value this type of content and that it can even positively affect how connected they feel to other people.
“The BBC is the largest producer of stories that are ‘made of’ the UK’s people, places and communities.
"We hope that the Made Of campaign will shine a light on our unique role in bringing the best of these programmes to our screens.”
