What do you think they would do differently?

 

Theyve got existing expertise in the form of small production companies already there for openers - and thats important in that line of work. You dont neccessarily have time to ship in kit or a specific people from elsewhere.

 

Looking further afield, theres the airport thing as well I suppose....

Previous successes are also going to figure in highly. There's been some amazing top class dramas filmed in Manchester and Liverpool over the past few years. I can't recall the last big Sheffield ones.

 

However, could that go against them. Would they be looking for some fresh new locations?

Filming locations will have absolutely nothing to do with it. In any case Channel 4 programmes are not usually made by Channel 4.

Tree cutting drama, big protests, a police officer falls in love with protester. I'll write the script, that will even make it a bigger drama.

Correct. And threads and the full monty. A long way from the number in Manchester or Birmingham.

 

That said, nobody knows the criteria C4 are using but unless cost is a prime motivator I can't see how Sheffield beats the other candidates.

I know for a fact there are loads more in Manchester, a fair few in Birmingham and many many times more, obviously, in that there London. All of the above have better transport links.

 

I'm not saying Sheffield can't do a good job, it's just birmingham and Manchester would do it better. Don't get me wrong, I'd love it if Sheffield got it - I'd get more work out of it.
