...when ever i hear this, it reminds me of when ATV lost their itv franchise to broadcast, long summers of the very early 1980s, end of tiswas and the gap between childhood and growing up... still makes me feel very nostalgic hearing this....
ATV did not lose its licence; they were asked by the IBA (on conditions of actually keeping their franchise) that they were to have the midlands split into two geographical areas covering east and west, with the Elstree studios being sold along with half of its shares being placed on the open market and control taken away from its parent company ITC and renaming itself Central Independent Television. The Elstree studios were later bought by the BBC where EastEnders was filmed. Did you also know that Aldbury was also used for Midsomer Murders?
@@christopherwilliams2093 I thought ATV Network Ltd created a shell company called ATV Midlands Ltd, and that's the comany that bid for and won the new dual region East and West Midlands franchise, but ATV Midlands Ltd had to rename itself Central Independent Television (but it used the on-screen name Central). Effectively then, ATV Network Ltd lost the franchise and ATV Midlands Ltd aka Central Independent Television won the franchise.
@@TumbleTower No, it was just a rebrand as apposed to losing its licence to broadcast.
@@jane1975 Ok then, if ATV & Central were basically the same company, how come they lost the rights to the pre 1982 material, because any ATV clips until a few years ago, when various sales & mergers brought ATV / ITC material back under the same ITV Studios banner as Central, when shown post 1982, the on screen credit was ITC Entertainment, then Polygram, even for the old VT stuff as well, never ATV?
@@Westy1971 "In 1982, ATV was restructured and rebranded as Central Independent Television, under which name it continued to provide the service for the Midlands."
"In 2015, ITV Broadcasting Ltd surrendered its rights to the ATV trademark and it was acquired by Associated Television Productions Ltd which has produced programming for the Made Television network of local television channels."
ATV and Central are one and the same company only rebranded, and the rights to broadcast the archives of ATV are no longer able to be shown because they belong to another company including logo.

Brings back memories of the 60 on a hot summer day life was so much different then,
I would have been at junior school then and don't recall seeing the film at the time. Saw it a few years ago (I am now in my early fifties!)
I was 6 and was an extra in the fete scene in shillingbury blowers it was an amazing experience and they were so welcoming i got trevor howard, robin nedwell, diane keen, patrick newell and jack douglas's autographs 😊
July 29th, 2021is DIane Keen's 75th birthday, Happy Birthday,Diane.
Adored this show when I was a kid. Even visited Aldbury this August where it was filmed.
great idea mate I was thinking about that going to the place where it was filmed
Actually the programme was presented for the ITV network by ATV but actually it was produced for ITC by the Inner Circle production company.
great show have it on DVD
where on earth did you get the DVD?
Celtic it took me ages to find it but you can get it from a webpage called network DVD they have a load of old titles they're really good and most of them are available on eBay as well many thanks
I actually found it on ebay just after I asked you. Many thanks! 😊
nice one Celtic I'm glad you found it many hours happy viewings, also there's a spin-off as well with Bernard Cribbins in it
I'm thinking of buying a copy from HMV tomorrow
I’m thinking of Diane Keen
I remember this programme on Sunday evenings on ITV when I was a kid. When the series ended, I looked for Shillingbury on a map, and couldn't find it. Was Shillingbury a real place, or just a made-up name for the series?
Shillingbury was a fictional place. The series was actually filmed in a small village called Aldbury, near Tring in Hertfordshire. There is a very small Facebook Group for fans of the series.
@@GaryB007 They also used it in The Avengers episode Murdersville
@@martin-uz1py did they ?..love that episode .was Dr who android invasion shot there too ?....looks like it !!!
I also think that The Shillingbury Tales was ITV's answer to the BBC's To The Manor Born in many respects
Aldbury was also featured in The Dirty Dozen
brings backs so many memories albury and ashridge monument we visited from watford. It was one of the only places in Hertfordshire that was in the central region because of the Chiltern escarpment. Central covered it from Birmingham until the south edition in 1989 from Abingdon but was still crap.
anyone has the link to the full show?? i really adore robin nedwell n wanna watch his shows please tell me if anyone does
