A new TV show shot in the North East starring Denise Welch is set to delight comedy fans when it airs for the first time on Dave.
'Dead Canny,' written by former Consett teacher Anna Costello, centres around a questionable young psychic from County Durham, whose ability to see dead people not only earns her a few quid down the local pub but also lands her as the prime suspect in a murder enquiry.
The show has been filmed entirely in Consett as part of a collaboration between UKTV and TriForce Creative Network that aims to support new writers. North East viewers who tune into the pilot on Wednesday, August 24 at 10pm will be able to see places they might recognise in Consett and County Durham.
