Stoke-on-Trent City Council has warmly welcomed yet another production being filmed in The Potteries.<\/p>\n

A spokesman said: “It’s great news \u2013 and highlights the growing demand for our distinctive heritage locations as film sets.<\/p>\n

“It adds to a growing list of productions filmed here including The Great Pottery Throw Down, Peaky Blinders<\/a>, and This Town.”<\/p>\n

The producers say the drama is set in 1860s Birmingham<\/a>, ‘when chocolate as we know it doesn’t yet exist’.<\/p>\n

It adds: “Two very different brothers, Richard and George Cadbury, find themselves in charge of their family’s failing cocoa business.<\/p>\n

“Together, they have the radical genius and burning ambition to turn Cadbury into one of the world’s most beloved confectioners \u2013 if they can only learn to trust and rely on each other.<\/p>\n

“Their sister Maria is navigating her own role within the family and the business, but things become even more complicated when she falls in love with Cadbury’s biggest rival, Francis Fry and is forced to question where her true loyalties really lie.<\/p>\n

“Infused with historical delights and magical invention, The Cadburys is about how we build, break and rebuild the bonds of family \u2013 and how the sweetest things in life are rarely simple.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Filming for a television period drama with Birmingham at its heart has taken place at in the Midlands.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1110170,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[7820],"tags":[855,748,302754,393,302756,302758,4884,302760,302757,302753,16783,302755,302759,27704,86493,16,15],"class_list":["post-1110169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-birmingham","tag-birmingham","tag-britain","tag-cadburys","tag-england","tag-felicity-montagu","tag-george-cadbury","tag-great-britain","tag-joanna-scanlan","tag-mathew-baynton","tag-middleport-pottery","tag-midlands","tag-packing-house-cafe","tag-pearce-quigley","tag-publishing-services","tag-stoke-on-trent-city-council","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116979688394218232","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1110169","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1110169"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1110169\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1110170"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1110169"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1110169"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1110169"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
