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:
“... [the] special relation of women to children, in which the heart of the world has always felt there was something sacred, serves to impress upon women certain tendencies, to endow them with certain virtues ... which will render them of special value in public affairs.”
—Mary Putnam Jacobi (1842–1906)
