Seven casting are unable to name the dramas specifically, but a host of period dramas have previously been filmed in Liverpool such as Peaky Blinders, Victoria and The Crown .

The job advert says: "We are looking for new talent to fill roles as extras and walk-ons. The sheer volume of productions we are undertaking has meant that we have more work than we have people!

"In addition the highly specific requirements of period dramas mean that roles can be harder to fill than those found in conventional dramas.


"We are looking for people who would be interested in work in Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, York and some North Midlands locations.

"You do not have to come from there but you must be happy to travel to them. Even for early call times! Please note that travel expenses are not covered."
