FROST EPISODES AND LOCATIONS

SERIES 1. 

Series 1. Episode 1. CARE AND PROTECTION

A similar storyline to the very first Frost book, Frost At Christmas, by R. D. Wingfield, but different in so many other ways.

Care and Protection is the A Touch Of Frost Pilot episode. It was first shown in 1992. DI Jack Frost has 3 things on his mind...coping with his terminally ill wife, supervising a 30 year old case, and trying to find a young girl who's disappeared.

Very loosely based on the 1st Frost book FROST AT CHRISTMAS, published in 1990, which finds our hero dealing with a missing girl and quite a few unconnected crimes occurring..

Series 1. Episode 2. NOT WITH KINDNESS. This episode is loosely based on the Night Frost and A Touch Of Frost books by R. D. Wingfield 

Not With Kindness in this episode deals with another missing girl, an harassed lady, vandalism at a churchyard; as well as having to cope with his recently deceased's wife sister, especially as they have a mutual dislike for each other

SERIES 2. 

Series 2. Episode 1. A MINORITY OF ONE.

This episode involves the death of a Frost informant, as well as racial tensions on an estate. This episode first aired in 1994

In the first 50 seconds of this episode, burglar alarms can be heard going off in the town centre of Denton, notably by Savers and the Blue Cup Cafe. Castleford doubles for Denton a lot throughout A Touch Of Frost. 

Castleford is in West Yorkshire, a market town, in the City of Wakefield. It is the site of a Roman settlement. The rugby team is called Castleford Tigers.

58 seconds into this episode, the Blue Cup Cafe's sign is shown. I love this cafe. I have been to this cafe a few times over the years. Despite my stammer, it never seems to be an issue for the always pleasant and courteous staff. Great food and delicious coffee. Highly recommended.

 

Blue Cup Cafe on Sagar Street, Castleford is a family run cafe which offers great food with a very friendly welcome

Series 2.  Episode 2. WIDOWS AND ORPHANS

27 mins into this episode, Frost is inside the wonderful Adelphi pub, Leeds having a drink and chat. I truly love this pub with it's rich history and incredible decor.  

Frost is after serial criminals preying on elderly ladies, as well as hunting down a burglar and a serial killer. He also has a new partner to work with.

This is the Old Red Lion pub, currently closed sadly, where Frost had a pint with another character. The pub's interior is shown 1 hour and 25 mins and 48 seconds into the episode. This episode was about a football star who apparently dies of a drug overdose and a body floating in a river

Series 3. episode 4. No Refuge

17 minutes and 5 seconds into this episode, the Police find a car in this Leeds location, known as the Dark Arches. A series of Victorian brick vaults which support the railway viaduct. These have been seen in a few Frost episodes, but this was the most dramatic episode to use them.

In the 1st minute and 57 seconds, we see that the Zoot Suit shop was raided. This "shop" was on Carlton Street, next to the old Market building

A therapist is found murdered in a car park

This episode aired in January, 1996

Series 4. Episode 5  In Deep Waters

A student is attacked on campus. And a postmistress is murdered

This was a favourite location find for me, as it happened to coincide with a lovely day out in Scarborough on what was a gloriously sunny day, spent with my wife, my Mum and my Granddaughter. I even tried the same pose in the same position Frost was in this episode; shame Candy Floss is now in Tubs !!

The actual episode scene I've recreated here appears 36 minutes and 22 seconds into the episode. I am standing as close to the original scene as possible.

This episode aired in 1996

Sadly, the upstairs of Winking Willy's Fish Shop was as full as the downstairs on that day. so I could not recreate the scene where Frost is having lunch. If the chance arises in the future, then I will add the photo on here.

SERIES 5

Series 5. Episode 3. True Confessions

Linton Lane, Linton, near Wetherby. 1 hour and 29 mins and 53 secs into this episode a house belonging to 2 characters is shown on this Lane. I couldn't find the exact house sadly as many are set way back from the road and many are surrounded by high stone walls. Maybe one day I'll find the exact house. 

This episode involves Frost getting suspended.  And 2 rich brothers get suspected of murder.

27 minutes and 39 seconds into the episode we see this house on the junction with Mill Lane, at Bridge Foot in Thorp Arch. I tried to get as close as possible with this shot to the image shown on screen. All that is missing from my shot is the red car
