The series mainly featured the areas of Harpurhey, Moston and Collyhurst. As a result of how the series depicted the areas, 'I love Harpurhey' banners were displayed by local residents to try and dispel the blanket mistruths of the broadcasters Each episode lasts 60 minutes. The narrator of the programme is Natalie Casey.
