Filming starts in Bristol
The cast has been announced for Stephen Merchant’s new BBC One comedy-drama The Offenders, including Christopher Walken and Poldark’s Eleanor Tomlinson.
Currently being filmed in Bristol, the six-part series follows seven strangers from different walks of life forced together to complete a community service sentence in Bristol.
Producers say: ‘At first, the offenders seem like archetypes easy to pigeonhole, but gradually we see behind their façades, understand their hidden depths and what made them the people they are today. We are reminded that no one is all good or all bad. Everyone has a story.’
