In recent years, Bolton has been something of a filming hotspot for TV crews and has even jokingly been referred to as 'The New Hollywood' in Parliament on one occasion.
Joking aside, the town has played host to some amazing productions including Peaky Blinders, It's a Sin, and smash Netflix thriller The Stranger. Usually the town doubles for somewhere else, with viewers often led to believe that the stunning Le Mans Crescent is London or somewhere else that is very much not in the North West.
So it has been incredibly refreshing to watch BBC horror drama Red Rose - a show not only filmed in Bolton but set in the town as well. It is perhaps unsurprising, therefore, that the show's writers - Michael and Paul Clarkson - are proud Boltonians.
