Film and TV stars Eddie Marsan and Anne-Marie Duff have been seen filming an upcoming BBC drama in Sheffield city centre.

Produced by Sheffield-based Warp Films, Reunion is described as an "emotional thriller of revenge and redemption".

The BBC said it would be a "milestone in inclusive storytelling", with most of the cast being deaf or using British Sign Language.

Written by William Mager, a deaf writer originally from the city, it features scenes in Sheffield as well as Doncaster.

On Friday, crews were seen filming in Barker's Pool in front of Sheffield City Hall.
