Well I always say that the reason 30 million people watched EastEnders in 1985 Christmas special was because at that time we didn't really have much to do like now in 2023 with all the smartphones and KZfaq etc etc etc 🇬🇧

Heartbeat is the show to watch when times are tough. I love this show

True

Yes then but not now PC BS has ruined everything. All the brilliant series we had wouldnt be allowed now.

Yes they done. heartbeat is my favourite tv show 💖💖💖

There is a dvd collection available and it's fantastic 👍

You mean Buddy Holly. It’s Nick Berry singing a Buddy Holly song.

Pension age used to be 60 for women but is now 66.

Nearly and old age pensioner . . .sounds like Greengrass !

Back then probably mid 50's

I think it is unlikely if this special would've been made into a series, as according to IMDB Juliette Gruber who played Jo left the series to be with her boyfriend in France and has never done any TV work since, she seems to have disappeared from the screen. If Nick Berry didn't decide to leave and Nick and Jo didn't decide to emigrate then they would've probably written Jo out and killed her character off, leaving Nick on his own with Katie.

I thank u 2 I grow up watching it on and off so started to watch all again left this 2 watch last

You mean Nick Berry !!!

My sister was living in Alberta on exchange from Queensland 2007/08 and was a teacher nearly Calgary.

stop being so picky its a fictional program if you want facts watch a documentary

Yes, I thought "Rockin all over the World" by Status Quo was from a later period.

I know someone who has one but he only takes it out on tour to car shows. I don't blame him he got it of a bloke in the North/West Territories and got it Shipped out to Central Queensland.

cool

@John Morris: Hi John! The information you posted here is indeed correct for the very first episode of the famous Heartbeat series, located in North Yorkshire and first broadcast in April 1992. That was when Nick and his first wife Kate moved from London up north to the village of Aidensfield. A bit confusingly for many people, at the end of Series 7 Nick and his second wife Jo, along with daughter Katie have relocated to the Canadian province of Alberta. This special was filmed in 1998 and broadcast in 1999. Heartbeat sadly only did one episode showing us their new Canadian life, and chose to also title this special Changing Places- just like the very first Heartbeat episode broadcast in 1992! heartbeat.fandom.com/wiki/Heartbeat:_Changing_Places I have come here after watching all the episodes from series one through seven. I’m thankful someone has posted this special! I really wish it could have turned into a regular spin off! But Nick really wanted to be a stay at home dad, and that’s what he has done for most of the time since 1998.

possible, after all it was a Brit series

We need more people thinking the way u do. We are all brothers and sisters.

@@juliavasquez6974 thank you. I live in the City now but when I was a kid in the 1980's I grew up in North Queensland and Northern Territory,My father was a Headmaster at a couple of remote parts of Australia and he was big on Aboriginal people getting a good education as well as integrating them to Jobs outside their communities as well as bring Elders into the classroom and bring them out on camping so kids like myself who were from an UK/European background would learn a thing or two,we still keep in contact with many of the people we used to live with eventhou we live in the city it helps when the kids come down from communities and keep an eye on them so they don't get into trouble.

Amen,Amen,Amen

WISH EVERYONE THOUGHT THIS WAY, THE WORLD WOULD SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PLACE.

set in 1968 no cops in UK or Australia carried guns ... it is a relatively newish phenomenon to those cultures.

I'm in western Canada and recognized the area. A lot of us drink coffee in the morning and tea in afternoon or evening. Coffee has more taste/oomph to it for that morning jumpstart.

Only in Canader, eh? Pity ☺️

They should have consulted with a few older Canadians, though, about things like the differences between Canadian and American language and perspectives. Bush, not woods. Chips, not fries. Pub, bar, or beer parlour, not saloon. The white folks all sound generic American ... but at least there was no “oot and aboot, eh”, which is a blessing!

No it was a one off as a wrap up for the Rowans

joey Depalmer yes. Watch free on KZfaq. I am on a binge watch for a week now. Absolutely great series.

​@@summer45ableno it didn't become a spin off ...this was a one movie spin off from the original series Heartbeat which had been running for many years before and after this ..check out Heartbeat from series 1 and see the full story of how these actors eventually came to this one off

Well I live in Canada and I sure like it! lol

Don’t say “real mother”. The term is biological mother.

I'm afraid not ☹️

@@SteveOliverOne what a shame..I was enjoying that

@@vailototafea7089 Have you the series Heartbeat This is the conclusion from series 1 thru 6 which there are many episodes.

@@miketybring4700 No I have not..sorry to say

No thankfully

I don't know why, the whole episode is there and plays through 1.5 hours.

Yes thankyou. I eventually was allowed to watch the second half. It took two days of trying but I finally veiwed it. Very enjoyable. I hope there is more to come from this Canadian series of heart beat.

Not to my knowledge.

Canadian citizens (male) and British subjects (male) have been recruited into the RCMP since its creation in 1920.

Same thing that has happened here in Australia,that you talk about with recruitment in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, it wasn't really till the Mid 80's when the state police forces were doing a clean up and out of corrupt Police they need to recruit younger and overseas police Mainly from the UK and other Commonwealth Countries,I never have had a problem with shaking the Apple tree Occasionally but now adays they are very selective of Recruitment process they want more Ethnic deservity and even amount of Women I don't have a problem with that either. Also Uni degrees and almost clean record

@Katrinka San Francisco Bay Area RCMP is Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Like AFP is Australian Federal Police.

@@barryrobinson8552 did that apply to other British Commonwealth Countries.

This was a one-off special episode of the long-running series "Heartbeat", following the main character after he left his job in Yorkshire to move to Canada. There are 372 episodes of Heartbeat.

I know, didn’t like it at all

Actors leave shows all the time when they feel their time is done on a show. Nick Berry had done 7 years and felt it was time to go and he did want to raise his sons.He said at that time, "What I struggled with was that the boys were very young and I felt like I was away filming all the time. I'd been blessed with these little people and yet I wasn't really there. I realised I wanted to be at home." He had a production company he ran until 2019, so he did have an income. Juliette left as she moved to France with her then boyfriend and is a yoga instructor and had 2 children.

And now Juliette is a yoga instructor

It wasn’t the actual station that was burning, but one of the outbuildings, a shed I believe.

he said his wife died..

@@Ace-ke7fq His wife did die

Jo isn't Katie's mum she's named after her mother and nicks first wife

Spat out a kid?? What are you talking about? Have you even watched ANY of the first 7 seasons of Heartbeat? He’s been married to Jo only one year, and his first wife Kate died several years ago near the time Katie was born. What have you got against Canada? Have you ever even been there? It’s an extremely large, diverse and very amazingly beautiful nation! If you immigrate to some nations, your past education won’t matter or count for anything. Many places you go, your training would not qualify you to get a job in the same field without going back to university. If Nick moved somewhere in the Commonwealth nations, his education and training will still be considered valid and useful to help him get a new job. They had discussed that if things do not work out in Canada, maybe they would try Australia next.

I think the implication is that he will speak up for him and argue for a sensible prison sentence during which he can get the help he needs, not that he was going to drive him to the hotel and it would all be alright. This is Canada, where it's possible he could get a reasonable sentence during which he can have his son visit him.
