Originally commissioned by ITV1, Where the Heart Is Season 2 quickly became exactly the kind of show that viewers rearrange their evenings for. In the small, fictional Yorkshire town of Skelthwaite is an engaging story of life, love, family and people’s ever-changing fortunes in rural England. Set against the rugged landscape of Yorkshire, it follows the busy professional and family lives of District Nurses, as they bring nursing and emotional care to young and old alike. The first four series concentrates on the lives of district health nurses Peggy Snow and Ruth Goddard. It aired in 1998. The writing trusts the audience to sit with ambiguity rather than wrapping every episode in a tidy conclusion — it is the approach that separates good drama from great. The consistency across the run is what elevates it — not every episode is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

The show you recommend to people who say they do not really watch TV. Where the Heart Is Season 2 tends to convert them. The complete run is available and worth treating as a single long film if your schedule allows. The quality of the character writing is the reason it holds up on rewatch, when you can see the groundwork being laid in early episodes for things that only pay off much later. One of the more rewarding dramas of its era, and one that rewards the patience it asks of you. Pam Ferris is the centre of it, and it is one of their strongest performances on record.
