Angels of the North is spreading its wings again, with the show's fourth series set to give BBC Three one of its biggest TV hits this autumn.
It's now been three years since cameras were first invited in to Gateshead hair salon and celebrity haunt Longlox, as the staff let viewers in on their lives inside and outside of the salon,. After all of the first series was made available as a box set, it became an immediate binge watch hit as fans couldn't get enough of manager Sammyjo Pearson and her team.
Plans were swiftly made for Angels of the North to get a second series, with filming kicking off at the start of 2020, before coming to a halt was the country went into lockdown. BBC cameras captured the moment Sammyjo was forced into closing her doors, with no idea that the salon would be shut for months and months as stringent restrictions came into force. A film crew were also on location when Longlox, like many other businesses, finally got the green light to re-open, with footage being shot for the second half of series two.
