Re: George Gently
I guess the episode you are thinking of involved an 'arab' lad. I think it was supposed to be in Shields but the filming was done in Ireland. The later series was filmed in the North East.

Re: George Gently
fantastic series and very witty at times. Just a look from Martin Shaw to his sidekick speaks volumes.
I have read the Gently books and the character in the books bear no resembalance to the TV series.
The inside filming is done at Wallsend where the docks used to be. The set is shared by the filming of Vera.

Re: George Gently
Spoilt for me when he mentioned the "Police Service in one episode. That term didn't come in until the 1990s.
