Co-developed with and marketed by Google Inc. as part of its Nexus line of flagship devices and unveiled on October 31 , 2013 , it is a successor to the Nexus 4 . Nexus 5 served as the launch device for Android 4.4 `` KitKat '' , which introduced a refreshed interface , performance improvements , increased Google Now integration , better battery life and other features . The Nexus 5 received mostly positive reviews , praising the device 's balance of overall performance and cost in comparison to other `` flagship '' phones , along with the quality of its display and some of the changes introduced by Android 4.4 . The display was , however , criticized for being too dim in comparison to other devices , and the camera was criticized for having inconsistent quality . Contents ( hide ) 1 Release 2 Specifications 2.1 Hardware 2.2 Software 3 Reception 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Release ( edit ) The device was unveiled on October 31 , 2013 ; it was made available for pre-order from Google Play Store the same day in 16 GB and 32 GB models . When released , the Nexus 5 was priced at US $349 ( 16 GB version ) and US $399 ( 32 GB version ) in the US . This was much lower than comparable smartphones , which would cost around $649 . As of 11 March 2015 , the Nexus 5 is no longer available from Google Play Store . Specifications ( edit ) Hardware ( edit ) Back , front and side view of a black Nexus 5 The exterior of the Nexus 5 is made from a polycarbonate shell with similarities to the 2013 version of Nexus 7 , unlike its predecessor that uses a glass - based construction . Three exterior colors are available : black , white and red . Its hardware contains similarities to the LG G2 ; it is powered by a 2.26 GHz quad - core Snapdragon 800 processor with 2 GB of RAM , either 16 or 32 GB of internal storage , and a 2300 mAh battery . The Nexus 5 uses a 4.95 - inch ( marketed as 5 - inch ) 445 PPI 1080p IPS display , and includes an 8 - megapixel rear - facing camera with optical image stabilization ( OIS ) , and a 1.3 - megapixel front - facing camera . The Nexus 5 supports LTE networks where available , unlike the Nexus 4 which unofficially supported LTE on AWS Band 4 only with a hidden software option , but was not formally approved or marketed for any LTE use . There are two variants of the Nexus 5 , with varying support for cellular frequency bands ; one is specific to North America ( LG - D820 ) , and the other is designed for the rest of the world ( LG - D821 ) . Notable new hardware features also include two new composite sensors : a step detector and a step counter . These new sensors allow applications to easily track steps when the user is walking , running , or climbing stairs . Both sensors are implemented in hardware for low power consumption . Like its predecessors , the Nexus 5 does not have a microSD card slot , while it features a multi-color LED notification light . There are two grills present on the lower edge of the Nexus 5 : one is for the mono speaker and the other is for the microphone . Software ( edit ) Main article : Android ( operating system ) Nexus 5 , LG - D821 model ( international ) The Nexus 5 was the first Android device to ship with Android 4.4 `` KitKat '' , which had a refreshed interface , improved performance , improved NFC support ( such as the ability to emulate a smart card ) , a new `` HDR+ '' camera shooting mode , native printing functionality , a screen recording utility , and other new and improved functionality . The device also shipped with Google Now Launcher , a redesigned home screen which allows users to quickly access Google Now on a dedicated page , and allows voice search to be activated on the home screen with a voice command . Unlike the stock home screen , Google Now Launcher is not a component of Android itself ; it is implemented as part of the Google Search application . Until 26 February 2014 , when it was released on Google Play Store for selected Android 4.4 devices , Google Now Launcher was exclusively shipped by default on the Nexus 5 , and was not enabled in Android 4.4 updates for any other Nexus device . While an update to the Google Search application containing Google Now Launcher ( which itself was tweaked to improve compatibility with other devices as well ) was publicly released shortly after the Nexus 5 's release , the launcher itself could not at the time be enabled without installing a second shim application . Hangouts , which now supports text messaging , is used as the default text messaging application . In December 2013 , the Nexus 5 began receiving the Android 4.4. 1 update , which fixed issues with auto focus , white balance , HDR+ and other camera issues , while introducing some other camera issues for low - light scenes . It also fixes low speaker volume output in certain applications . Android 4.4. 2 update followed in a few days , providing further bugfixes and security improvements . In early June 2014 , the Nexus 5 received Android 4.4. 3 update that included dozens of bug fixes , while another mid-June 2014 Android 4.4. 4 update included a fix for an OpenSSL man - in - the - middle vulnerability . A developer preview of the Android 5.0 `` Lollipop '' system image was released for the Nexus 5 after the annual Google I / O conference held on June 26 , 2014 . The release version of Android 5.0 `` Lollipop '' was made available on November 12 , 2014 , in form of factory operating system images . On December 15 , 2014 Android 5.0. 1 `` Lollipop '' update began rolling out to Nexus 5 with build number LRX22C , the update was listed as being `` miscellaneous Android updates . '' In March 2015 , the Nexus 5 began receiving the Android 5.1 `` Lollipop '' update , which addresses performance issues and other user interface tweaks ; however , it is known to introduce certain camera issues . In June 2015 , Google made the Android 5.1. 1 `` Lollipop '' update available for Nexus 5 aiming to fix the bugs that were not fixed by Android 5.1 update . In May 2015 , a developer preview of Android Marshmallow was made available for the Nexus 5 . In November 2015 , Nexus 5 started receiving Android 6.0 `` Marshmallow '' update across the world . Following which Nexus 5 became one of the first devices to get an Android 6.0. 1 Marshmallow update in December 2015 . In August 2016 , Google confirmed that , the Nexus 5 will not receive an official Android 7.0 Nougat update , meaning that Android 6.0. 1 Marshmallow is the last officially supported Android version for the device . Reception ( edit ) The Nexus 5 received mostly positive reviews ; critics felt that the device provided a notable balance between performance and pricing . Although noting nuances with its display , such as its color reproduction and low maximum brightness in comparison to competitors , CNET praised software features such as the new phone dialer interface and Google Now integration on the home screen , but did not believe KitKat provided many major changes over its predecessors . Hangouts as the default text messaging app was criticized for its user interface and for attempting to force the use of a Google service , while the quality of photos taken with the device was described as being `` great , but it did n't particularly blow me away . '' In conclusion , the Nexus 5 was given a 4 out of 5 , concluding that `` to even compare this $400 phone to those that cost upward of $650 unlocked ( like the Samsung Galaxy S4 , HTC One , and Apple iPhone 5S ) speaks volumes about the Nexus 5 's massive appeal and affordability '' , and that the device `` extends the allure of the Nexus brand to anyone simply looking for an excellent yet inexpensive handset . '' Engadget was similarly positive , but noted that the device 's LTE support was lacking , as its supported bands are segregated across two model variants , and does not support Verizon Wireless . While praised for its crisp quality , it was noted that the display did not render colors ( particularly black and white ) as richly as the Galaxy S4 , but added that `` if you think saturated colors are overrated anyway , you 're going to love the display here . '' While considered an improvement over the Nexus 4 , the device 's battery life was criticized for not being as good as its competitors , and the quality of its camera was considered to be inconsistent . In conclusion , Engadget argued that `` whether or not it was the company 's intent , Google is sending a message to smartphone makers that it 's possible to make high - quality handsets without costing consumers the proverbial arm and leg . Now we just wait and see if that message will be warmly received . '' Compared to the LG G2 which was released earlier and shares the same manufacturer and much of the same hardware , the Nexus 5 has a lower - quality rear camera and smaller battery to hit a cheaper price point . However , Nexus 5 has been touted as a clean Android software alternative with the added advantage of running the latest Android 4.4 `` KitKat '' .

The show is set in the 1960s and focuses on the fictional `` St Aidan 's Royal Free Hospital '' , an NHS hospital serving the fictional rural seaside town of Elsinby and its surrounding area . The show began as a spin - off of ITV 's period police drama series , Heartbeat , featuring characters from Heartbeat during the first three series , before becoming its own entity . The show itself was shot within Whitby , Scarborough , City of Bradford and the North Riding of Yorkshire , and stars of The Royal included Ian Carmichael , Wendy Craig , Robert Daws , and Amy Robbins . The show itself generated its own spin - off , entitled The Royal Today , which used the same settings but in the present day .

The benefit of this and its connection to the show , helped it to gain its own series , though it initially began as a spin - off with several characters from Heartbeat appearing in episodes as part of its main plots or side story ; the most prominent of these appearances were Claude Greengrass ( Bill Maynard ) , PC Alfred `` Alf '' Ventress ( William Simons ) , and PC Philip `` Phil '' Bellamy ( Mark Jordon ) . By the end of the third series , the show 's ties to Heartbeat were discontinued , with the show 's production team working to make it into its own entity by the fourth series . Unlike its former parent show , The Royal uses the song `` Somebody Help Me '' by The Spencer Davis Group as it main theme tune , with an instrumental version playing over the ending credits . The majority of the plots in each episode centred around medical emergencies or a serious medical case , and often featured moral dilemmas created or exposed by these matters . Additional story - lines also included staff members dealing with personal problems or issues , and an occasional side - story in a similar vein to Heartbeat . While the show tended to avoid political topics on the whole ( the Vietnam War was briefly touched in one episode ) , its main themes focused and centred upon the conflict between progressive and conservative social ideals , as well as the ethical challenges and social changes faced by the hospital 's staff , a reflection of its setting and what was faced by the world in the 1960s . Although the setting used includes references to 1960s events , such as the coming of colour television , like Heartbeat the show featured a number of anachronisms , such as the use of `` a glass ceiling '' , an expression not coined until some years later . Set roughly twenty years after the creation of the National Health Service a theme running through the series is the previously independent hospital 's attempts at preserving its methods and standards within a National Health Service portrayed as bureaucratic and concerned more with efficiencies than patient care . The character Mr. Harper represents the archetypal interfering state inspector . Filming ( edit ) Filming of the interior scenes of `` St. Aiden 's '' utilised both The Leeds Studios and St. Luke 's Hospital , Bradford , the latter of which was chosen because it had not been updated in many years , and retained the appearance of what a hospital would appear like in the 1960s . The exterior scenes of the fictional hospital used the Red Court building on Holbeck Road , within Scarborough 's South Cliff , and included the nearby park area and Holbeck Clock Tower ; scenes were shot during the summer months . The remaining scenes outside the hospital covered the area of the North Riding of Yorkshire , including Whitby and Scarborough . Cast and characters ( edit ) Main cast and characters ( edit ) Julian Ovenden as Dr David Cheriton ( series 1 -- 3 ) , a GP and the series ' original protagonist .

The spin - off focused on the same settings of the main show , but set in the present day with a new cast of characters . The show ran for one series in 2008 between 7 January to 14 March . The show was axed due to low ratings . End of production ( edit ) Speculation surrounding the future of both Heartbeat and The Royal began in 2009 , when ITV announced on 4 March that a loss of £ 2.7 billion was forcing it to make cutbacks in employment numbers , the biggest of which were made at ITV Yorkshire Studios . Many raised concerns that the shows were to be axed , after reports were made to that effect in earlier in January , though a spokesperson stated later that the production of the shows was simply `` resting '' . No official news was given that the show was axed , but like Heartbeat , the series ended with a cliffhanger surrounding one of its main characters , when the final episode was aired on 31 July 2011 .

Question: where did they film the royal tv series

Turlough ( lake ) - wikipedia Turlough ( lake ) Jump to : navigation , search This article includes a list of references , but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations . Please help to improve this article by introducing more precise citations . ( February 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) A turlough , or turlach , is a type of disappearing lake found mostly in limestone areas of Ireland , west of the River Shannon . The name comes from the Irish tuar , meaning `` dry '' , with the suffix - lach , meaning `` a place '' ( in an abstract sense ) . The - lach suffix is often mistakenly spelled and / or thought to refer to the word loch , the Irish , Scottish Gaelic and Scots word for `` lake '' . The landforms are found in Irish karst ( exposed limestone ) areas . The features are almost unique to Ireland , although there is one example in Great Britain , at Cernydd Carmel near Llandeilo . They are of great interest to many scientists : geomorphologists are interested in how turloughs were formed , hydrologists try to explain what makes turloughs flood , botanists study the unusual vegetation which covers the turlough floor , and zoologists study the animals associated with the turloughs . The turlough at Carran , Co . Clare , Ireland in late May 2005 . The water level is high following a spell of wet weather Contents ( hide ) 1 Locations 2 Seasonal pools 3 Formation 4 Swallow holes 5 Calcium carbonate deposits 6 Plant and animal life 7 Draining of turloughs 8 See also 9 References 10 Further reading 11 External links Locations ( edit ) Pant y Llyn turlough , South Wales Turloughs are mostly found on the central lowlands west of the Shannon , in counties Galway , Clare , Mayo , and Roscommon , although a few are also found elsewhere , e.g. in Limerick , Sligo , Longford , and Cork . Only three turloughs have been identified in Northern Ireland , namely Roosky , Green , and Fardrum Loughs located near Ely Lodge Forest in County Fermanagh . These constitute the most northerly turloughs in Ireland and have been collectively designated a Ramsar site and an Area of Special Scientific Interest . There is one turlough in South Wales , Pant y Llyn . Seasonal pools ( edit ) Most turloughs flood in the autumn , usually sometime in October , and then dry up some time between April and July . However , some turloughs in the Burren can flood at any time of year in a matter of a few hours after heavy rainfall , and they may empty again a few days later . Some turloughs are affected by the oceanic tide : in the summer , Caherglassaun Lough , situated 5 kilometres from Galway Bay , can be seen to flood and empty again twice every 24 hours . Most turloughs flood to a depth of about 2 metres ( 6.6 ft ) but some are much deeper : for example , some of the turloughs near Gort reach about 5 metres ( 16 ft ) deep in midwinter . Turloughs are variable in size : the largest turlough in Ireland , Rahasane turlough , which lies to the west of Craughwell in County Galway , covers about 2.5 square kilometres ( 1 sq mi ) . Formation ( edit ) All of the turloughs are found in limestone areas . This is because limestone can be dissolved away by rainwater , which becomes mildly acidic by picking up carbon dioxide as it passes through the atmosphere . The cracks or joints in the rock become widened to such an extent that eventually all of the rain falling on the limestone disappears underground , and the water moves through the rock openings ranging from cracks a few millimetres wide to large cave passages . The limestone is then said to be `` karstified '' . To the east of the Shannon , the limestone is often covered by great thicknesses of glacial drift deposited during the last glacial period , but in many areas to the west of the Shannon where the limestone is pure and the drift cover is thin , there is no proper surface river network . In these areas , rainfall disappears underground , flows through openings in the rock and then rises at distant springs : large springs can be found to the west of the area , flowing into Lough Corrib and Galway Bay . In winter , when the underground water level ( or water table ) rises , and when the underground flow increases , and when the underground flow routes to the springs are not capable of dealing with the amount of water entering them , groundwater may appear temporarily at the surface in the form of a turlough . Many of the rivers seen in these areas today are largely artificial , constructed by drainage engineers from the nineteenth century up to the present day , often linking a series of turloughs . For example , much of the River Clare is artificial , and the middle section of its course used to be a huge turlough , the largest in Ireland at 6.5 square kilometres ( 3 sq mi ) . Swallow holes ( edit ) Turloughs usually fill and empty at particular places on the floor of the depression ; sometimes an actual hole or passage is visible but more often a hollow with stones in the bottom is all that can be seen , and it may not be easy to recognise when it is dry in midsummer . Some turloughs have a spring at one place and a sinkhole ( also known as a `` swallet '' ) somewhere else on the floor where water drains away , but many turloughs fill and empty through the same hole . A few turloughs are filled by surface rivers and streams flowing into them as well as by water rising from underground . The water sinking in the swallow hole travels underground to re-emerge at a spring , which may be several kilometres away . In most rock types , groundwater flows very slowly ( from just a few centimetres to a few metres per day ) , but in karstified limestone the volumetric flow rate can be quite rapid : water from the turlough may flow underground to a spring at a rate of 100 metres per hour ( 330 ft / h ) or more . Calcium carbonate deposits ( edit ) Limestone is made up of the mineral calcium carbonate , and as water passes through limestone , it dissolves the calcium carbonate ( this is what makes hard water and causes mineral deposits on the inside of kettles ) as the calcium carbonate comes out of solution when the water is heated . Something rather similar happens in turloughs ; water that has picked up a lot of calcium carbonate during its underground travel rises in the turloughs and then some of the calcium carbonate comes out of solution and forms a white deposit . If a turlough has emptied recently , a whitish coating on the vegetation on the turlough floor may be visible . When water comes to the surface in a turlough , it loses carbon dioxide back to the atmosphere and to plants , which use it for photosynthesis , and this loss causes a deposit of calcium carbonate on the surface . Sometimes a special whitish deposit with the appearance of sheets of paper is found in the turloughs when they dry up . This `` algal paper '' is made up of filaments of an alga that grows abundantly in warm weather and is then left to dry out in sheets when the turlough empties . In drainage ditches in a turlough , or in holes made with a soil auger , one may find a white - or cream - coloured deposit beneath the vegetation cover , or beneath a layer of peat . This is often called `` white marl '' ; again , it is made of calcium carbonate . About half of the turloughs contain marl ; it was deposited at a time several thousand years ago when these turloughs were not seasonal lakes but were flooded all year round . Plant and animal life ( edit ) Most turloughs have a springy , short - cropped turf of grasses , sedges , and herbs . In the Burren , the high - water mark is often shown by the shrubby cinquefoil ( Dasiphora fruticosa ) with its attractive yellow flowers , and meadow rue . Just below the high - water mark , dog violets are abundant and in some turloughs there may be a dense sward of the rare sky - blue turlough violet about one metre further down . Other characteristic plants of turlough sides include marsh orchids and speedwell . About halfway down the sides , and across the bottom of shallow turloughs , silverweed ( Argentina anserina ) may blanket almost all other plants . If the turlough has a marshy zone near the swallow hole there may be mint , watercress , pondweeds , aquatic buttercups , and knotgrass living a semiterrestrial existence . But most swallow holes when dry are represented by a jumble of rocks , clothed with blackish and dried aquatic mosses ( Cinclidotus , the turlough moss , and Fontinalis , usually found in streams ) . Many people think that turloughs have no animal life . However , frogs and newts may spawn there , and sticklebacks may survive in the larger turloughs , retreating into underground cracks in the rock when waters are low . Shrimps and water lice do the same , and where fish are absent there may be a rich fauna of delicate water fleas and fairy shrimps , some unknown elsewhere in Ireland . These hatch and grow fast , finding safety in the warm fish - free waters . Flatworms and snails are also often abundant ; these pass the dry periods in spring mouths or marshy areas . Rahasane turlough in Galway has been described as the most important turlough in Ireland for birdlife . It is famous for its greater white - fronted geese , whooper swans , wigeon , teal , and many waders in winter . Both Rahasane turlough and Coole Park are Important Bird Areas . Draining of turloughs ( edit ) Turloughs provide good summer grazing for cattle , sheep and horses , partly because of the annual deposition of lime - rich silt . However , for many years , farmers have seen the winter flooding as a waste of potential and they have attempted to find some means of draining the turloughs so that they can be used all year round . This has usually been achieved by digging an artificial channel through the turlough , capable of carrying away any water entering the turlough from surface or groundwater -- such channels have often been constructed as part of major arterial drainage schemes . At least a third of the turloughs in Ireland have already been drained and more are being drained each year . This has very serious environmental consequences , because the unique flora and fauna of the turlough can not survive in the absence of seasonal flooding . Even for farmers , the benefits are not always as great as anticipated ; the stopping of the annual limy silt deposition means that the soil may become impoverished and fertilisers must be used . Also , the poorly developed and delicate soil may not be able to withstand the presence of animals through the winter .
