Example of tv dramas that represent regional identity

Doc Martin- Set in a rural Cornish village/ shown as being backwards and living in rural areas



Downton Abbey- A very wealthy family living in a large castle like house/very rich, posh, happy, living in castles and being very “royal.”

Shameless- Set in Manchester on a Chatsworth council estate/ Portrayed as being uneducated, chavs and criminals 

Happy Valley- Shown as living in the Calder Valley in Yorkshire/ Portrayed as living in the rural countryside


Stella- A simple job that doesn't require much labour as she may be seen a less intelligent. As well as being set in a rural town in Wales/ Often shown as being less intelligent and living in the countryside
