With much-talked-about new film The Duke poised for release, its stars Jim Broadbent and Helen Mirren have talked about bringing the true life story to life and described the whole process as a 'joy'.
The Oscar winners play husband and wife in the film based on the 1960s case of former Benwell bus driver Kempton Bunton who stole a Goya masterpiece from The National Gallery in London - and have adopted Geordie accents for their role.
And in a behind-the-scenes interview the pair discuss the making of the comedy-drama - which portrays Bunton as a local hero - ahead of its debut at cinemas nationwide on February 25, with some North East venues securing early preview screenings from this Wednesday.
