Show Summary [edit]

Heartbeat is set in the 1960s, in the fictional Yorkshire town of Aidensfield. The first seasons focus on the lives of London policeman Nick Rowan, who moves to the village with his doctor wife Kate. Nick's police colleagues feature in the series, under the leadership of the crusty but kindhearted Sergeant Blaketon. Blaketon's nemesis is Claude Jeremiah Greengrass, poacher and occasional small-time fence. Greengrass is a regular patron of the Aidensfield Arms hotel, run by George Ward and his pretty niece Gina. It's here at the pub that we see much of the day-to-day social interaction in the series. Heartbeat is based on the Constable books by Nicholas Rhea.

There have been a load of Heartbeat coppers over the years. They are listed below:

Sgt Oscar Blaketon
PC Alf Ventress
PC Phil Bellamy
PC/Sgt Nick Rowan
PC/DC Mike Bradley
Sgt Raymond Craddock
PC Tom Nicholson
Sgt Dennis Merton
PC Steve Crane
Sgt George Miller
PC Rob Walker
PC Geoff Younger

The musical theme, originally performed by Buddy Holly, is performed here by original show star Nick Berry.

According to ITV, there are no plans to release Heartbeat on DVD.

A real shame when you consider this show has been a solid TV staple in the U.K. and in many other countries for so many years.

I am an English emigrant living in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, and I watch "Heartbeat" episodes on TVO (Ch. 2) on my T.V., and record them on my VCR every Friday night both for myself and for my sister up in Barrie, Ontario. I also have this computer in my flat. I would really like for a North American source for downloads or DVDs of episodes of this English drama, but to date ITVN in the U.K., and TVO here in Ontario are either unable or unwilling to present downloads or DVDs to loyal "Heartbeat fans on this side of the pond. Is there any way, any way at all, of presenting us loyal Heartbeat fans over here with quality English drama? Any positive thoughts or ideas on my plea are, of course, welcome.

I also wish that DVD's would come out. I live in Israel and do not have a TV. I started watching DVD when I did have a TV. I really want to get the DVD's so I can watch on my comuter.

I would love a Heartbeat DVD.
They always seem to put the same ones on again and again when they are repeated and I would love to be able to just watch my favourites!
