|  | Derby The city has had surprisingly few claims to fame on the big screen - but several appearances on TV - including the county's most famous series, Peak Practice.
Vernon Street, close to the city centre, was used as a setting in the 1980s series, Nanny.
The Arboretum, Britain's first public park, opened in 1840, provided a setting for Ken Russell's Women In Love - the bandstand was where the boy's choir was filmed singing.
Kedleston Hall This popular venue, just outside the city boundaries, has featured in several TV and film productions, including: Nanny, Women in Love, Boon and, of course, Peak Practice.
National Tramway Museum, Crich This was home, for a while, to the Peak Practice production team - but other visitors have included Jim'll Fix It, Blue Peter and Anneka Rice in Treasure Hunt.
Red House Stables (Nr Matlock) This hasn't been used so much as a venue but as a provider of fine carriages for a whole host of productions.
The list is impressive: Pride and Prejudice, Sons and Lovers, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Women in Love, Lady Jane Grey, Jane Eyre, Far From The Madding Crowd, Sense and Sensibility, Peak Practice, Flambards, Woman of Substance, The Princess Bride and many, many more.
