Whilst making this film, Benjamin and producer Alistair Miskin visited all 60 stations on the Metro network. Highlight of the filming period has to be the all-night shoot at Gateshead Station complete with trains. You’ve not lived until you’ve stood on a metro platform amongst 200 dancing Geordies and Mackems!

The period Benjamin spent in Newcastle is one of the happiest of his life. He met a set of inspiring people, and discovered an area that he very much fell in love with. Tyne Mouth has shot into his top ten favourite places in the UK.

The three day shoot was relaxed and fun, and Benjamin was supported by an exceptional team from BBC Newcastle.
