Where The Heart Is (1997 TV Series)
Where the Heart Is is a British television drama series set in the fictional town Skelthwaite.
First shown in 1997, it was created by Ashley Pharoah and Vicky Featherstone. One of ITV's longest-running shows, Where the Heart Is was known for being what has been described as a haven for former soap stars, including Thelma Barlow, Sarah Lancashire, Philip Middlemiss, Samantha Giles, Kerrie Taylor, and Shobna Gulati.
In October 2006, the series was cancelled after nine years, despite viewing figures of well over 7 million.
Rugby League was frequently featured in the series and was mainly made up from players from Brighouse Rangers Amateur Rugby League Club.
The theme song "Where the Heart is" was done by Prefab Sprout (written and sung by Paddy McAloon). It was released as a single and appears on the band's 38 Carat Collection.

Famous quotes containing the word heart:
“Royalty is a government in which the attention of the nation is concentrated on one person doing interesting actions. A Republic is a government in which that attention is divided between many, who are all doing uninteresting actions. Accordingly, so long as the human heart is strong and the human reason weak, Royalty will be strong because it appeals to diffused feeling, and Republics weak because they appeal to the understanding.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
