The BBC NI drama Eureka
Street was first transmitted in 1999 and was adapted from
Robert McLiam Wilson's novel, Eureka Street. Filmed on location
in Belfast, it starred Vincent Regan, Mark Benton as Chuckie and
Dervla Kirwan (Ballykissangel). Eureka Street won many awards
but most notably it won the ‘Certificate of Merit at the San Francisco
International Film Festival - Golden Gate Awards. Below are some
exclusive photos that were taken during filming.

the extras.
Garfield street, in the centre of Belfast was the chosen location
to 'blow up'. Only one side of the street was used for filming.
The other side was left intact.
Even though filming was taking place at this 'bomb scene' the
businesses on the street were still trading as normal
The art director, Shane Bunting seems pleased with the mess he
made!
