Talk:A Touch of Frost

message: The page currently says:
:The series is set in the town of Denton, which from the geographical references in the series appears to be in South Yorkshire.
How come, therefore, that none of the characters (especially not Frost, nor his chief superintendent) have Yorkshire accents? Everyone speaks as if they're from the south of England, or the Midlands at most. --Thoughtcat 19:50, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It used to say "Oxfordshire", with a note to the effect that there is in fact a Denton in Oxforshire, though the name is a coincidence. Denton's postcodes (in the series) start with DN, which is a real postcode area covering part of South Yorkshire, but this is a coincidence too (or rather, a mistake, as the producers admitted after people started pointing it out) - DN in real life refers to Doncaster, DN in the programme is clearly Denton. This does not mean that Denton is Doncaster, and indeed it quite obviously isn't. --Bonalaw 12:16, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been watching old episodes to check this out. In the early episode "Stranger in the Dark", briefing meetings take place in front of a large map of what is without any doubt Swindon. The Swindon location is further borne out in later episodes with shots of places I recognized such as the shopping malls, certain office blocks, the areas near the railway and so on. Also references to visiting Oxford and in one specific episode it is "20 miles to Reading along the M4." On the grounds of this, I've added a comment in the main article.MarkThomas 19:53, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

text:  In the episode Held in Trust S10 Ep03, Frost and his DS are stood in front of a street map clearly marked Denton.  This map is in fact a street map of Swindon as you can clearly see Great Western Way, Rodbourne Road and the railway branching from the main station to Bristol and Cheltenham.

message: One thing that I have been trying to find out is whether there is an episode of Frost undertaking his act of bravery?(!)  Or is the story just mentioned in another episode?  I have just bought most of the series but have yet to get 4 and 5.  If this episode does exist, please would someone tell me which one.

message: I recently purchased "A Touch Of Frost - Series 6 - 12 - Complete"-DVD box. The first episode is 'Appendix man' and the last one is "Endangered Species".
This would mean "Endangered Species" would be season 12, and following the other episodes are season 13 83.101.2.138 (talk) 22:13, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

message: The article used to say that the show "appears to be set" in Thames Valley, and now it says Yorkshire.  I don't know of any source for either, but none of the police officers, suspects and whatnot speak Northern English--rather, they seem to speak a generic form of Southern English. I'm removing the reference to apparent location until we have a clear and reliable source.
My wife who has read all of Wingfield's Frost books says she has no idea where Denton is supposed to be--unlike, say, Reginald Hill's Dalziel and Pascoe, these stories don't seem to be geographically specific.  The plain fact that it's shot in Yorkshire and produced by Yorkshire Television doesn't get us anywhere. --TS 12:12, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I know this is original research, but I spoke to the series' composer, Ray Russell, and he confirms that it is indeed supposed to be Thames Valley, but the producers have no problem utilising locations that have no relation to the Thames valley. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 15:08, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
