Commissioning editor tells Edinburgh TV festival he is looking for new stories after string of Yorkshire-based hits
Channel 5 is calling time on Yorkshire after accepting that it is possible to have too much of God’s Own County on one television channel.
The region has provided the backdrop to some of the broadcaster’s biggest hits in recent years, with programmes such as Our Yorkshire Farm, The Yorkshire Steam Railway, The Yorkshire Vet and a remake of James Herriot’s All Creatures Great and Small delivering record audiences.
