Set during the 1960s in the fictional North Yorkshire village of Aidensfield, this phenomenally popular series stars Jason Durr as PC Mike Bradley, the former Metropolitan officer whose work takes him into the heart of rural community life. Staple Sunday-night viewing for two decades, with colourful regular characters that viewers took to their hearts and a wonderfully nostalgic soundtrack, Heartbeat scooped many prestigious awards including Best Performing Peak-Time Drama in 1999 (beating Coronation Street), and a number of ITV Programme of the Year awards. Attracting a peak audience of 14 million and spawning a highly successful spin-off, The Royal, the series has garnered a devoted following, remaining prime-time viewing world-wide. Guest-starring Leslie Grantham, Celia Imrie, Peter Vaughan, Robert Glenister and Jan Francis, this series sees ex-CID man Dennis Merton replacing the newly promoted Sgt. Craddock. Facing some of Aidensfield s most dramatic situations, Mike and Dr. Tricia Summerbee discover an increasing mutual attraction; but when a violent case leaves Tricia fighting for her life, it seems Mike could lose her just as their relationship has begun to flourish...
