Channel 5's Deadline sparks controversy with viewers over filming locations

Channel 5 have been accused by 'faking' locations for their new thriller Deadline after viewers found out where the new thriller was really filmed.

The four parts eries sees James D’Arcy play James Alden, an investigative journalist who becomes captivated by a case about a woman who is the prime suspect for her husband's murder.. The woman in question is Natalie Varga (played by Peaky Blinders star Charlie Murphy), who stands accused of killing her other half.

Much like Channel 5's other ratings winners so far this year, The Teacher, starring Sheridan Smith and Jill Halfpenny's The Holiday, Deadline has aired over consecutive nights, meaning it has dominated the prime 9pm slot for much of this week. But, while some viewers have blasted the plot, many have the same complaint and it's al to do with where the drama is meant to be based.
