Nuts and Bolts was a weekly television drama series, set in the fictional South Wales town of Ystrad.

Filmed entirely on location in Merthyr Tydfil, the series made large use of exterior locations, with many interiors being recorded in a former Welsh Water depot; which became a hastily improvised television studio.

The first series was hailed an instant success, and became renowned for its accurate portrayal of valleys life (much like the BBC Wales series Belonging) and became a proving-ground for new Welsh drama talent, such as Eve Myles, Jonathan Owen, Jason May, Lawrence Llewellyn, Nathan Jones, Dean Keohane and Alexandra Dunn as baby Jade was Amy Monger. The initial episode received complaints from viewers for showing content unsuitable for the early-evening timeslot in which the program was shown, which were upheld by the regulator, the ITC.

The series was awarded The Royal Television Society Award for Best Regional Drama in 1999. However, erratic scheduling and a lack of commitment to show the drama nationally, (except irregular, late-night showings on ITV2), led to the series being cancelled in November 2002; just one month after Nuts and Bolts finished its fourth-series run on HTV.

The series was devised and created by Lynnette Jenkins. The show was HTV's first soap opera for fifteen years.

Nuts and Bolts may refer to:

• Nuts and bolts, hardware fasteners
• Nuts and Bolts (TV series), a British television series
• Nuts & Bolts (film), a short film
• Nuts & Bolts (Utility), a Utility Collection of McAfee; no longer available
• Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, a video game
• Nuts and Bolts (general relativity), fixed point sets of the symmetry group in general relativity

In physics, in the theory of general relativity, spacetimes with at least a 1-parameter group of isometries can be classified according to the fixed point-sets of the action. Isolated fixed points are called nuts. The other possibility is that the fixed point set is a metric 2-sphere, called bolt. The number of nuts and bolts can also be related to topological invariants, such as the Euler characteristic. This classification is widely used in the analysis of gravitational instantons.
