FANS of a hit prime time TV show could soon be allowed to tour the North Yorkshire sets.
Millions of people regularly watch Victoria, starring Jenna Coleman, on ITV, and plans have been submitted to authorities to allow guided tours of the standing sets a few miles from York.
Part of the show is filmed on sets at Church Fenton Studios and a report submitted to Selby District Council said the tours of the studio could end up becoming permanent.
The production involved the construction of one of the world’s largest indoor static sets to replicate rooms from Buckingham Palace during Victoria’s reign.
Guided tours would be limited to up to 25 guests per tour, up to a maximum of four tours per hour, on Saturdays and Sundays. A decision is expected in November.
