UK first broadcast dates are BBC One dates. Episode links to places come from the Kent Film Office, Visit Outer Hebrides, the West Wittering Estate and Radio Times. The 2024 Christmas special is linked as a whole, since the funfair filming is not assigned to one part. The 2026 prequel Sisters in Arms is not listed because it had not been broadcast when this guide was updated.
