A North Yorkshire Native

As someone that lives in North Yorkshire I'll address a few things, but let's not forget, this film is fiction and doesn't claim to be factual.Yes The main airport in Yorkshire is Leeds Bradford, a quick taxi or bus to Leeds would put the main character into Leeds, one of the biggest cities in the UK but does it matter? No.Leeds Bradford airport isnt served by a steam train, but, in the North Yorkshire Moors and Dales (where this is set) there is a steam train to go around the towns and villages, so not as wrong as many point out.Knarebrough (the town used as the main base) is beautiful, obviously it has areas of new build houses and trading estates, but in the town centre and direct outskirts, it's old and stunning, it's also not in the Dales or the Moors, but what fiction films are true to life?It's a cheesy Christmas film that shows off Yorkshire's beauty, even if things are moved around a little.Don't set your expectations high, take it for what it is and you won't be a Christmas Grinch like some reviewers.

The star of the film was the location - dire script and acting

Well I have just watched 'A Very Yorkshire Christmas'. I'm not sure why the title has changed here to 'British'.Sadly it's one of those silly, predictable films, you know as soon as there's a young woman and a single bloke that something will happen, throw in a toothless 'cute' (to some) daughter, plus a failing business............Although filmed in Yorkshire, it was obviously an American film, with a dire and schmaltzy American script. It's a wonder they weren't all saying 'happy holidays'. They even sing a traditional American carol, one hardly heard here.It's odd that the 'opera singer' is en-route to Vienna but ends up in Yorkshire! How she keeps her hair and (lots of) make-up intact is beyond me. As well her extensive wardrobe (my friends counted four coats and several pairs of boots).Anyway, the lead male is dreadful. Goodness know why he was cast - he has no charisma, no personality and sounds like David Beckham. Is he even an actor? He delivers the already poor lines with a monotone pitch, no emotion, nothing. The daughter is Kate (aaargh). It must have been explained but I wonder how the mum, son and grandchild ended up in Yorkshire; mum has a slight Yorkshire/northern accent (the wonderful Michelle Dotrice), son has a cockney accent, the child, Kate can't make up her mind which accent she should be using.SPOILER NB it usually snows in Yorkshire - I don't know why there constant remarks about it - the CGI snow wouldn't have been needed had they filmed in winter!
