The Last Kingdom fans were treated to scenes of drunken women fighting and a warrior contemplating the “rotten” air as the hit Netflix series' final season arrived in middle ages Runcorn.
Episode one of the fifth season of the Saxon drama kicked off with an aerial shot of a small river-side outpost, guarded by a watchtower as villagers milled about the muddy ground among thatched, wooden huts, baskets of wares, all close to a jetty at the water’s edge.
The village’s name is revealed as “Rumcofa”, which is quickly clarified as meaning Runcorn in its historical form.
