ITV Player: The Dales
Malham Smithy Television
Premiere!
The summer months have seen the Malham
Smithy put into the limelight as Blacksmith Annabelle Bradley has been followed at work by a documentary film crew.
Following the success of ‘The Lakes', presented by Rory McGrath and broadcast last year, ITV1 has commissioned
Shiver Productions to make two prime-time series this Summer celebrating life in the North of England.
The Lakes will
return for a second series, whilst it's new companion series ‘The Dales', fronted by Adrian
Edmondson, focuses on life in one of the North of England's most picturesque areas as experienced through the eyes of people who live and work there.
‘The Dales' has followed the lives of a number of
characters in the Yorkshire Dales this Summer, one being Malham resident and village blacksmith Annabelle Bradley.
The production team followed Annabelle through the trials of completing a project of
making three large scale bespoke chandeliers for local hostelry, The Buck Inn at Malham.
Not without complications, the
project was completed and all three were installed in the public lounge bar and snug, filmed by crew Yvette Lyons and Kate
Walker from Shiver Productions.
The 12 part series began on March 28th
2011 at 8pm on ITV1.
