Editing Uttoxeter (section)

===Television appearances===
Uttoxeter was the setting of a recurring [[Sketch comedy|comedy sketch]] by comedians [[Stephen Fry]] and [[Hugh Laurie]] in their [[BBC]] television series ''[[A Bit of Fry and Laurie]]''. In one episode, two obnoxious business entrepreneurs who run various companies in Uttoxeter throughout the series develop grand plans for a popular sports centre. The sketch derives its humour from the fact that Uttoxeter is in fact a quiet and sedate town.

The town featured in ''[[Countryfile]]'', as a "mystery town". Its cattle market featured in the programme as the last in the town centre site in 2005. Local people participated in the programme from the local ''Uttoxeter Advertiser'' and Uttoxeter Racecourse staff.

Oldfields Hall Middle School featured in the film ''[[A Room for Romeo Brass]]'', written and directed by [[Shane Meadows]] and Paul Fraser, two Uxonians who have risen to fame.

Uttoxeter Racecourse has been used several times, as it is visited by residents of the popular soap ''[[Coronation Street]]''.

Uttoxeter is the home of Rockin' Johnny Austin MBE, recognised for his charity work and rock and roll songs such as ''Rockabilly Stroll'', a minor hit in the 1980s. He also produced in 2010 a World Cup Single, ''Victory Day'', which was filmed on location in Uttoxeter Market Place.
