The line and its stations has been used in numerous period film and television productions including the film ''The Railway Children''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.screenonline.org.uk/film/id/531815/index.html |title=screenonline: Railway Children, The (1970) |work=[[screenonline]] |publisher=[[British Film Institute]] |access-date=27 November 2009 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091126125307/http://www.screenonline.org.uk/film/id/531815/index.html |archive-date=26 November 2009  }}</ref>

In the 1960s (shortly before the preserved line re-opened), an [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] advertisement on chocolate cookie biscuits, featuring [[Ronnie Corbett]], was filmed along the line and at Mytholmes Tunnel (between Oakworth and Haworth). A steam train carries (at the front end) out of the tunnel a shocked Corbett holding onto the handrail of the engine. The locomotive used was Pug 51218.<ref>The Golden Age of Steam Engines, ''No. 2 – Branching Out'' (at 27mins 30secs). [[BBC Four]], broadcast 27 October 2013; first broadcast 17 December 2012</ref>

In 1970 the line was featured in the British drama film ''[[The Railway Children (1970 film)|The Railway Children]]''. The line was then one of only a few heritage railways in the UK and was the only one at the time which had a tunnel (this was one of the most important locations needed for the film). The tunnel used is a lot shorter in reality than it appears in the film, for which a temporary extension to the tunnel was made using canvas covers. Locomotives that were chosen for the film included a [[Hudswell Clarke]] 0-6-0T No. 31 Hamburg, [[GWR 5700 Class|GWR 5700 0-6-0PT No. 5775]], [[L&YR Class 25|Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway 0-6-0 No. 957]]<ref>{{cite news|title=Railway Children Train Back on Track|url=http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/8070982.Railway_Children_train_back_on_track/|access-date=4 February 2016|work=Telegraph and Argus|date=25 November 1998|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160406230731/http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/8070982.Railway_Children_train_back_on_track/|archive-date=6 April 2016}}</ref> & [[GNR Class N2|GNR N2 0-6-2T No. 1744]]. Railway locations used in the film included Mytholmes Tunnel near [[Haworth]], the location for the [[Paper Chase (game)|paper chase]] scene was also shot at Mytholmes, as well as the one in which the children wave the girls' [[petticoats]] in the air to warn the train about a landslide.<ref>{{cite news|title=Keighley and Worth Valley Railway bosses hail work|url=http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/8993625.Historic_Railway_Children_bridge_is_saved/|access-date=4 February 2016|work=Telegraph and Argus|date=27 April 2011|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160406225129/http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/8993625.Historic_Railway_Children_bridge_is_saved/|archive-date=6 April 2016}}</ref> The landslide sequence itself was filmed in a cutting on the Oakworth side of Mytholmes Tunnel<ref>{{cite news|title=Landslide hits 'Railway Children' line|url=http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/8031866.Landslide_hits__Railway_Children__line/|access-date=4 February 2016|work=Telegraph and Argus|date=18 February 2002|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160407013602/http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/8031866.Landslide_hits__Railway_Children__line/|archive-date=7 April 2016}}</ref> and the fields of long grass where the children waved to the trains are situated on the Haworth side of the tunnel.

In 1976, The KWVR and Haworth railway station appeared in the premiere episode of a Granada TV sitcom called ''[[Yanks Go Home]]'' (set in 1942), in which a group of US Army Air Force pilots arrive by train and alight at the station (Haworth) and are stationed in a small Northern town in Lancashire, North-West of England, during the Second World War.<ref name=":0">{{cite web|title=KWVR – TV & Film|url=http://kwvr.co.uk/trains-and-the-railway/tv-film/|website=Worth Valley|publisher=Keighley and Worth Valley Railway|access-date=6 November 2015|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150915031739/http://kwvr.co.uk/trains-and-the-railway/tv-film/|archive-date=15 September 2015}}</ref>

In 1979, an episode of the long-running BBC sitcom ''[[Last of the Summer Wine]]'' was filmed partly along the Worth Valley route, in which the three main characters Compo, Clegg & Foggy visit and then to attempt to stop a runaway steam train having pulled the brake on purpose (and then only to drive upwards and downwards).
