THE new series of a television drama partly filmed in the Bradford district will begin tonight.

The Syndicate, written by Bafta-winning screenwriter Kay Mellor, follows a group of kennel workers who think they’ve won the lottery - but all is not as it seems and the young syndicate find themselves on the wealthy French Riviera.

The series, starring Gaynor Faye and Neil Morrissey, was filmed in West Yorkshire and Monaco, with some scenes shot in Apperley Bridge and Burley-in-Wharfedale.

Singer-songwriter David Nowakowski of Bradford band Scars on 45 composed the theme tune and other tracks for the series and tweeted about the show today.

 

The Syndicate, a six-part series, will begin tonight on BBC One at 9pm.
