TV crews are back in Bolton town centre, as filming continues on the BAFTA-nominated sitcom Alma's Not Normal.
The show is written and produced by Bolton comic Sophie Willan, who also stars as the titular Alma Nuthall.
Earlier this afternoon (Wednesday May 19) she was walking through Le Mans Crescent with a face visor, while crews got set-up.
After a successful pilot, which was nominated for a BAFTA, the full series is set to air later this year.
It will also star Siobhan Finneran (Happy Valley, Downton Abbey) as Alma's mum Lin, Lorraine Ashbourne (The Crown, Cheat) as her nan Joan, Jayde Adams (Crazy Delicious) as Alma’s best friend Leanne, James Baxter (Still Open all Hours, Emmerdale) as Alma’s ex-boyfriend Anthony and Nicholas Asbury (Doctor Who, Chewing Gum) as Jim.
Dave Spikey (Phoenix Nights), Thanyia Moore (The Duchess, Jamie Johnson) and Ben Willbond (Ghosts, Yonderland) complete the cast.
According to BBC, the series follows Alma as she tries to get her life back on track after a break-up.
A spokesman added: "But with no job, no qualifications and a rebellious streak a mile wide, it’s not going to be easy.
"Meanwhile her mum, who is battling a heroin addiction, has been sectioned for arson and her vampish Grandma Joan wants nothing to do with it."
Sophie Willan said: “I’m delighted that filming is underway for series one of Alma’s Not Normal, and even happier to be working alongside such a fantastic group of actors.
"We can’t wait for audiences to learn more about Alma’s world and the eclectic mix of characters that surround her.”
