ITV favourite The Royal is a medical drama set in St Aidan's Royal Free Hospital in the sea-side town of Elsinby.
The 1960s-set show first hit ITV screens back in 2003, with many characters from Heartbeat (Aidensfield is just down the road) frequently cropping up in the show.
The show is filmed primarily in the North Yorkshire resort of Scarborough - however, many hospital ward scenes are shot at St Luke's Hospital, Bradford, in the now disused Maternity Wing. Show producers chose this location beacuse it hadn't been updated for many years and so closely resembled what a 1960s hospital would look like.
