‘One in 10 million’ orange lobster making waves at Bolton Market
In the first episode, posh Surrey estate agent Rex Adams – who sells multi-million pound properties across London – finds out if he can cut it as a meat trader.
He gets his first introduction to the trade at Bolton Market, where he tries to blend in on seasoned traders Tony Frame and Elliot’s hectic meat and fish stall.
Even if Rex can master the trade, his accent and haircut could be a giveaway, so he also receives a makeover and lessons from a dialect coach.
Then he’s put to the ultimate test – running a meat stall solo at Barnsley Market.
The series airs at 9pm on May 20.
It is not the first time Bolton has taken centre stage on TV, with the town forming the backdrop to primetime dramas, hit comedies and much more.
Locations like Victoria Square and Le Mans Crescent continue to be popular go to locations for some of the biggest series, leading the town to be term ‘Hollywood of the North’.
Peaky Blinders, Fool Me Once as well as Coronation Street have been shot in Bolton, with The Talamasca, part of the Anne Rice series, currently being filmed in the town as well as locations across the North West.
The Talamasca follows a secret society which is responsible for tracking and containing witches, vampires, werewolves and other creatures scattered around the globe.
Filming for the series started in autumn last year, and the Crescent was transformed into a mock-up of a London station.
