ITV drama ‘Saviour’ filming in Bolton town centre

Television production crews were set up in Le Mans Crescent, a popular location for producers of hit dramas.

The Bolton News understands the crew were filming a ‘courtroom drama’ and aptly the shoot was taking place outside the old courthouse, which has been used for some of the biggest dramas, including the detective series Ridley.

Those on the set said it was a Liverpool-based production.

Currently filming in the North West is Saviour, which is a courtroom drama.

Actors could be seen on the steps of the building, looking lawyerly in full suits, overcoats, and briefcases.

The production crew was made up of around 30-40 people, operating boom mics, several sets of cameras, and a big white backdrop screen.

ITV crews were spotted in Bury last month filming a new season of the Liverpool-based courtroom drama Saviours.

The show stars Anjli Mohindra, Shaun Parkes and Aidan Gillen, who played ‘Little Finger’ in the hit HBO show Game of Thrones.

Saviour follows Ben (Archie Fisher), who, after borrowing his dad’s police uniform for a costume party, gets into an altercation that results in a man’s death.

In defending Ben from an allegation of murder, Indy is confronted with a world of corruption, racial politics, media buzz, a frustratingly traditional justice system and a defendant who is keeping secrets from her.

Saviour will air on ITV, STV and stream on ITVX and STV Player.
