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)
Season 1, Episode 2 - Not With Kindness - is partly filmed traveling from St Michaels up (and down, in car shots) Westgate End in Wakefield. Frost is dropping off his wife's sister at Denton train station which is the old Westgate train station. Google Street View [1]
Having made various deliveries around Yorkshire I can confirm several locations I have visited that have been used in the series, the police station was filmed at Farnell Electronics in Armley Road, the pub where frosts car is covered in rubbish is round the corner, one mans meat was filmed in Humberside, the abattoir was a company called sunlight in Wakefield. The fancy dress shop ended up being a furniture shop in Castleford have delivered to it. A clinical waste company told me there wheelie bins were used in benefit of the doubt, Colby's waste site i think is white rose at Leeds hospital. several scenes where shot in Armly road Leeds. In fact I met David Jason on set at Armly road when making a delivery to Farnell's but i was given the wrong address, what a shock i got. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.90.255 ( talk) 22:48, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
The rail scenes in benefit of the doubt were filmed in York Andi H —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.90.255 ( talk) 22:51, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
In Series 14 episode 1 when Frost is giving a briefing, he is shown in front of a white board with the numbers of other police stations in (presumably) the area. These include Devizes and Alton amongst others in the Berkshire/Hampshire/Wiltshire locale. Also I can remember from way back in one of the earlier episodes Frost perusing traffic reports, and the front cover of these had Thames Valley police on them. -- Jonathanwalshuk ( talk) 14:12, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
Actually according to that Super Sleuths series on ITV3, Denton is supposed to be based in the Thames Valley. Wingfield based his novels in the South of England (Thames Valley and there was one non Frost book that was based round in the Dorset, Devon, Cornwall area (it was on Radio 7 a year or so ago and the theme music was the Firebird Suite by Stravinsky (I think!!) I can't remember what it was called however. Whether or not it was filmed in Yorkshire has no relevance to where Denton is based. It's like saying that since Doctor Who is filmed in Wales then the series is based in Wales (Whereas due to cheapness on behalf of BBC Wales, Wales stands for nearly every planet or major city location :-)) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.2.90.81 ( talk) 18:31, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
From various visual and geographic references, I have always been convinced that Denton is either Swindon or Reading. The last ever episode was filmed at St Gregory's School in SE Oxford. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.21.162.218 ( talk) 00:19, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
In the episode "Keys to the Car" from series 6 it is stated at least twice that the distance between Denton and Crawley (Sussex)is 60 miles. In the series 10 episode "Close Encounters" it is said that Denton is 70 miles from Solihul. There are two spots that fit these distances, one north east of Luton and the other is Hungerford. In the early episodes there are references to Basingstoke and Reading that indicate that they are not far from Denton. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.187.100.142 ( talk) 14:22, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

I have removed this; [1] ... , thinking nothing for example of breaking into a suspect's property without a warrant. Neither is he above planting evidence to arrest a criminal who would otherwise get away with the crime. Frost can also be rude and aggressive to almost anyone, including innocent subordinates.
I have seen a lot of the episodes of this series and I have not noticed this characteristic behavior of Frost in the series. There is even an episode that is about an investigation where his old collages where involved in planting evidence and Frost exposes them. Frost is more and old style policeman who can can bend the rules but does not break them. -- Walter 22:17, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

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.

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)
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)
The article definitely shouldn't say that the television series is, or even "appears to be" set in any specific region of England. The novels don't give any specific setting either, as far as i'm aware. Tasty monster (= TS ) 16:36, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
