Good evening, here is the 9 o'clock news and this is Bruce Belfrage reading it.

Its here! 


All the months of preparation have come to and end and the camera turned over at 10.38am today.


Its been hard work and everyone has pushed themselves to the limits - but it was all worth it when at 9am a collection of 35 cast, crew, volunteers  and NFTS students arrived at the studio ready for the first day shooting.


Here are some sneak preview shots of the set! 

This the the BBC...
