What? That's crazy! It's a real shame to not be on location in St. Pauls. It's a pretty important place in Britain's social history that deserves a higher profile instead of getting recast.

Odd considering Bristol is a popular place for filming TV/Movies because it's cheap and has a wide variety of modern/historic/shitty types of location that can work for period drama, gangsters or finance bros. ITV just has to do things in a shit way.



I was surprised as we've got lots of filming here in Bristol. The Outlaws was particularly fun as Stephen Merchant is another proud Bristolian and AFAIK was entirely filmed in Bristol (even included a genuine Banksy that Christopher Walken painted over).

What's next, a biopic of Paul Dirac shot in California?


My impression is Liverpool has more unimpeded views of a city that looks 100 years old? Having been to both cities.

That will save them on VFX budget.


But where's the Brunel suspension bridge?


Are we sure they wont just shoot MOST of it in Liverpool, and other scenes in Bristol?


Seems like they shot it in Liverpool, Chester and Manchester. No Bristol at all.
