Hide AdHunter House Road is probably most famous to people from outside the city for its brief appearance on Doctor Who episode The Woman Who Fell To Earth, which was the opening episode of series 11 and saw fans introduced to the first female Doctor, Jodie Whittaker.
It is the scene of a parking dispute in that episode, involving the police officer Yasmin Khan, who becomes the Doctor’s latest companion.
Hunter House Road is one of Sheffield’s steepest roads, a category in which there is stiff competition, and its scenic views make it a popular filming location.
It regularly appears on news bulletins, most recently in a segment about the cost of living crisis, and in 2010 it featured in the BBC project A Symphony for Yorkshire, which was an attempt to capture the spirit of the historic county in music, lyrics and moving footage.

Filming for The Full Monty TV series, slated for release in early 2023, has also taken place at Meadowhall shopping centre, Gleadless Valley and Parkwood Springs, among other locations around Sheffield.
