Can't help noticing just how much of the TV schedule is taken up by soap operas, and quite a few appear to be set up north- Corrie in Salford, Emmerdale in West Yorkshire and the weird one about teenage angst and sex in Chester. So apart from the token ones set in the capital, what other regional variations on this are there?
