[edit] Trivia
- Exterior scenes filmed in the Lancashire towns of Bacup and Burnley, and in Todmorden, West Yorkshire. Other locations around east Lancashire and West Yorkshire were also used.
- Bacup police station was only ever used as an external view, the interior is fictional and studio based. When leaving the police station to go on mobile patrol, the vehicles were driven from the front of the police station, to the left, which in reality, leaves them driving into a wall and shuttered warehouse.
- The existing and currently operation Bacup police station is likely to be sold soon as alternate accomodation for the police is currently being saught.
- In the Big Finish Doctor Who audio drama Deadline, Juliet Bravo has become a cult phenomenon in a world where Doctor Who never caught on.
- In 1989, Anna Carteret reprised her role as Kate Longton in Alexei Sayle's Stuff (episode 5, series 2). Viewers were fooled into believing that the first few minutes of the programme was a real Juliet Bravo episode, the illusion being broken only when one of her male colleagues appears not to "know what a woman is".
[edit] DVD Release
Juliet Bravo is being released on DVD by 2 Entertain/Cinema Club. The first five series are currently available, with the sixth series which was scheduled for release on the 19th March 2007 now having disappeared from the BBC Shop release schedule altogether , other websites have also removed release dates for this DVD. Following an email to the BBC Shop asking for information about the DVD release of Series 6 , the BBC Shop have replied stating they have no knowledge of this DVD being promoted by them and have not even heard of any plans to release it, a bit odd as they originally advertised it on their site , but it would appear from this that there must be many issues with this release, on a lighter note the Tesco DVD site has a release date of 2020 ! typing error , I hope.
