Filming has started in Liverpool for a new BBC TV crime drama set in the city.
This City is Ours is the story of Michael, played by Liverpudlian James Nelson-Joyce, a man who for all of his adult life has been involved in organised crime, working for his friend and the gang leader Ronnie Phelan, played by Sean Bean. When Ronnie begins to hint at retirement, Michael too begins to imagine another life.
The eight-part series will be filmed over 14 weeks and is part-funded by the Liverpool Film Office through its Liverpool City Region (LCR) Production Fund.
Head of Liverpool Film Office, Lynn Saunders said the project supported “Scouse talent” and would boost the local economy.
