Anyone know whereabouts in Cumbria it's filmed? I know where the Manchester school is and obviously I recognise when they film in Manchester town, but my brother lives in Cumbria and he wondered where it was filmed there.

I've been a fan of Christopher Ecclestone since he was in Cracker. His last scene in that still sticks in my mind.

Thought the last in the series was excellent. I wonder if they will make any more, the BBC haven't confirmed as yet, but I certainly hope so.
