|  | | The cast of Peak Practice (later episodes) |
| | Peak Practice is set in the beautiful Derbyshire village of Cardale. You won't find the village on the map - it doesn't exist. But Cardale is really Crich and Fritchley in disguise. |
| | | This extremely popular drama series (ITV) eventually ran into 12 series and much of it was film on location in Derbyshire (though a lot of series 12 was actually filmed in Longnor, which is actually in Staffordshire).
In fact, this series has a double claim to fame in Derbyshire as it was devised by local playwright, Lucy Gannon.
Peak Practice was set in Cardale, a fictitious village in the heart of the county.
