THERE will be a buzz about Barnsley in the coming weeks when a TV crew descends on the borough to film scenes for a new drama about sex toy retailer Ann Summers.
The six-part ITV series - aptly titled Brief Encounters - is set in the 1980s and will focus on the lives of four women whose lives are transformed as they become involved in the sex toy and lingerie company’s pioneering ‘party plan’.
Penistone’s Paramount cinema, which is in the heart of the historic market town, has been chosen as one of the locations for the new drama, with filming due to start early February.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
