8 Shows Filming Now!

Our pick of the best new and returning programmes currently in production

1 Last Tango in Halifax

BBC1

TV favourites Sarah Lancashire, Anne Reid, Sir Derek Jacobi and Nicola Walker are still busy filming the hugely awaited fifth series of Sally Wainwright’s hit drama in Yorkshire.

Plot details are well and truly under wraps at the moment, but we’re sure Sir Derek and Anne’s reunited childhood sweethearts Alan and Celia will still be dealing with trouble and strife caused by their respective daughters Gillian and Caroline (Nicola and Sarah)! The four-parter will hit our screens next year.

2 The Nest

BBC1

Filming continues in Glasgow on this five-part thriller, written by BAFTA winner Nicole Taylor (Three Girls).

The plot sees Line of Duty’s Martin Compston and Gentleman Jack’s Sophie Rundle play a couple who’ve been trying for a baby for years when a chance encounter with teenager Kaya (TV newcomer Mirren Mack) leads them to ask her to be a surrogate.

Hatton Garden’s David Hayman (above, with Martin) also stars and it’s expected to air in 2020.

3 Endeavour

ITV

We love this sweet snap of Shaun Evans and Roger Allam having a laugh in between filming scenes in Oxford as Endeavour Morse and Fred Thursday for the seventh series of the classy period crime drama.

Opening on New Year’s Eve 1970, the new trilogy of episodes finds the team investigating after a body is discovered on the canal towpath.

The new season is expected to air next year and an eighth series has already been commissioned for 2021.
