The "Heartbeat" TV Series

The History

Heartbeat is a Yorkshire Television program based on the Constable books by Nicholas Rhea. (The pen name of country policeman Peter N Walker.) The first series was produced and aired in 1990 and featured the stunning scenery of the North Yorkshire moors.

Ford Anglia 105E Saloon The series is set in the 1960's, in the fictional Yorkshire town of Aidensfield. The first few seasons focused on the lives of London policeman Nick Rowan (Played by Nick Berry) who moves to the village with his doctor wife Kate (Played by Niamh Cusack)

The series' name reflects the early focus on both medical matters (Heart) and country policing (the Beat). Later seasons lose the medical focus with the Heart part coming from community issues. In the latter seasons, the focus is more on the ensemble cast, including new PC Mike Bradley
