COUNCILLORS have agreed Richmondshire should join the Yorkshire Screen Commission, in a bid for more film roles.

An outlay of £500 will pay for inclusion on a list of film locations circulated to programme makers around the world.

Richmondshire has not done badly without the publicity.

The BBC filmed The Great Deliverance in Swaledale, while Wensleydale features in a film called This Filthy Earth.

Both productions have still to be screened.
