THE Larkins made a “perfick” return to TV, and now they are back for another series.
The hit ITV series is an adaption of the classic book Darling Buds of May and stars Bradley Walsh in the lead role of pop Larkin.
Darling Buds of May was brought to life again in The Larkins
Where is The Larkins filmed?
Although some scenes were filmed at a London studio, most of The Larkins action took place on an undisclosed working farm in Kent.
The remake’s filming locations also included the Walpole Bay Hotel in Margate, and Viking Bay in Broadstairs.
West Peckham, which is a small village situated in the heart of Tonbridge and Malling, was also used for filming.
Some filming also took place in Surrey.
Where was Darling Buds of May filmed?
The 90s TV show Darling Buds of May was mainly filmed at a farmhouse, in Berthsden, Kent.
The property, which is near the village of Pluckley, was used as Home Farm when the ITV show filmed there between 1991 and 1993.
The series also used the surrounding rural area as a backdrop for the Larkin family’s adventures, including the nearby Black Horse pub and the Little Chart cricket ground.
The ITV show, which ran for three series, was set in the fifties and was a huge hit in the early nineties, starring David Jason as Pop Larkin (whose catchphrase was “perfick!”)/
Pam Ferris played his wife Ma, and in her break-out role, Catherine Zeta-Jones played the couple’s oldest daughter Mariette.
The family lived on a farm in Kent, with Pop Larkin constantly thinking up schemes to make the family’s lives better.
When does The Larkins season 2 start on ITV?
ITV has announced that The Larkins is returning for a second offering.
The new series kicks off on Sunday, October 16 at 8pm on ITV, and the ITV Hub.
