Film crews have set up camp outside the historic Guildhall this week as filming takes place in Swansea for a gritty new ITV true crime drama. Based on the life and book of Delia Balmer, the four-part drama with a working title of the same name will tell the story of her near-fatal relationship with murderer John Sweeney.
BAFTA-winning actress Anna Maxwell Martin who starred in the BBC sitcom Motherland will play Delia Balmer alongside actor and director Shaun Evans who will take on the role of John Sweeney. Parking bays on Francis Street in Swansea have been suspended this week and blocked off by traffic cones so crew and tech vehicles for the ITV production can park outside the Guildhall between Monday, April 10 and Friday, April, 14.
The show's filming commenced in February this year and the drama is being produced by World Productions, the company that brought us Line of Duty, Bodyguard and The Pembrokeshire Murders. The production has received support from the Welsh Government via Creative Wales.
