===Locations===
The series was principally filmed in south Manchester, at locations including [[Didsbury]] (where Fitz lived at the fictitious address of "15 Charlotte Road"<ref>From the business card that Fitz presents to his stalker in the episode "True Romance".</ref>) and the police station at [[Longsight]]. The internals for the police station were filmed in the old ''[[Daily Mirror]]'' offices in central Manchester, now [[The Printworks (Manchester)|The Printworks]] retail complex. Other Manchester locations included [[Manchester Victoria station|Victoria Railway Station]], [[St Peter's Square, Manchester|St Peter's Square]], [[Old Trafford]], the [[Arndale Centres|Arndale Centre]], [[UMIST]], [[University of Salford]], the [[Ramada International|Ramada Hotel]], [[The Star and Garter, Manchester|The Star and Garter]] (interior and exterior for the "Best Boys" episode) and the [[Safeway (UK)|Safeway]] supermarket (now Morrisons) in [[Chorlton-cum-Hardy]].  The [[Hulme Crescents]] were also used for filming in the first two episodes of series one and the first episode of series two; during which time they were being demolished. The first episode involved several railway scenes which were filmed on the East Lancashire Railway in Bury (north Manchester) both on the trackside and inside the Carriage & Wagon Works, where working volunteers from the railway used crowbars to push the carriage springs up and down to suggest a moving train, while water was poured on the windows to suggest rain between black polythene sheets and the window to indicate darkness.
