Where the Heart Is takes its time building the world its characters inhabit, and the patience pays off. 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.

The first four series concentrates on the lives of district health nurses Peggy Snow and Ruth Goddard. Lesley Dunlop and Christian Cooke lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 10 seasons (1997–2006), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.
