The series has launched careers, boosted visitor numbers to the North East and helped put the region on the global stage for the creative arts.
The Red King, a crime series from the producer of Happy Valley, was filmed in Northumberland. This year, Oscarwinning movie director Danny Boyle brought Hollywood star Jodie Comer to the area for 28 Years Later.
