Where was the Disney+ Full Monty filmed?

Filming began in Manchester initially, before moving to a number of locations around Sheffield:

> Gleadless Valley. The neighbourhood is believed to be home to Gaz’s tearaway daughter. In May, production crews took over Gleadless Valley Parish Church for a nighttime shoot, and the following day, they draped a blackout curtain over a resident's home for interior shots.

> Meadowhall. Robert Carlyle was spotted at Sheffield’s Meadowhall shopping centre during filming there in May. Shoppers were instructed to carry on as normal while the cameras rolled, meaning there is a chance they could feature in the background of scenes in the TV series.

> Sheffield city centre. In June, spectators were held behind barriers in Sheffield city centre as filming for The Full Monty took place on Surrey Street, near the back of the town hall and the Mercure Sheffield St Paul’s hotel.

> Upperthorpe. Residents saw crews filming on Sheffield’s steepest street, Blake Street, which was also used in the original series. Residents reported seeing the actor Miles Jupp there.

> Former Norton Aerodrome site. Was used as the operational base during filming for The Full Monty TV series.

> Brinsworth, Rotherham. Filming took place at The Winning Post bookmakers on Brinsworth Lane, in Brinsworth.
