One tabloid newspaper publicly revealed the previously 'secret' location of Esholt being used for exterior scenes since 1976. A story was printed about residents from the "tiny Yorkshire village of Esholt, near Bradford" being angered over an increase in tourists after coach operators discovered the location of filming. The report went on to say that some tourists had been trespassing on private land in an attempt to catch glimpses of the cast. Yorkshire Television were still under contract not to name the village however and only provided comment to say that they had never done-so, so it was up to members of the public to find out if the newspapers reports were true. In other goings on, Al Dixon's portrayal of silent Woolpack customer Walter made the tabloids as fans set up a petition for Yorkshire Television to give Walter lines of dialogue. The petition was to no avail however and Walter remained onscreen and silent. Viewing figures also made the headlines this year as the programme creeped into ITV's Top 10 chart a total of eight times. At one point even rising to number five and prompting a newspaper to declare that the programme was now rivaling Crossroads, though in the long-term that wasn't strictly the case. Cast and crew reportedly believed that should Thames Television grant them a prime time slot, they would seriously start being able to challenge the other serials, but Thames made no change to its schedule. The programme's summer break once again saw it disappear from schedules for July and August.
