Wokenwell was a six-part British television crime drama series, first broadcast on 18 May 1997, that aired on ITV. The series was produced by LWT and created by screenwriter Bill Gallagher. The series centred on three policemen and their wives living in the fictional northern England town of Wokenwell. The series was filmed on location in and around the picturesque West Yorkshire village of Marsden.
The series starred Ian McElhinney, Celia Imrie, Nicholas Gleaves, Lesley Dunlop, Jason Done and Nicola Stephenson, with Bryan Pringle and John Malcolm also appearing in supporting roles. On 1 April 1997 a TV-tie in novel, written by Graeme Grant, under the pseudonym Tom McGregor, was released as a prelude to the series.
