ITV drama Malpractice uses Rawdon home as filming backdrop

Amanda and Simon Meadows opened up their home - Skye House, on Larkfield Road, Rawdon – so scenes could be shot for medical thriller Malpractice.

Film crews were on site from last Wednesday to Friday after creating the set on Tuesday.

A set was built at the property

Amanda said around 85 crew and cast were at the house, which is currently on the market with Fine & Country Leeds. It’s set to feature significantly within the drama.

It was back in April when Amanda and Simon were approached to see if they were interested in their house featuring in the drama.

The property was then shortlisted and last week it was all systems go as scenes were shot. 

Filming for the drama has also taken place in Eccleshill village, Bradford city centre and Shipley.

The house, in Rawdon, is one of a number of filming locations for ITV's Malpractice

Actress Niamh Algar, who recently starred in Channel 4 miniseries Deceit, was spotted filming scenes in Centenary Square.

The cat and mouse thriller will tell story of a damaged doctor, played by Algar, caught up in a dangerous conspiracy.

It's written by Grace Ofori-Attam, who worked as an NHS doctor for more than a decade.

She said: "Malpractice explores the inevitable pressure-cooker created when doctors under investigation are forced to second-guess their clinical decisions, justify their every action but carry on with the day job as normal."

They filmed for three days

She said it had been a "joy and privilege" creating the drama and added: "I can’t wait to see it on screen.”

Malpractice has been commissioned for ITV by Head of Drama, Polly Hill, who will oversee production from the channel’s perspective.

It was commissioned by Polly Hill, ITV's Head of Drama, who said: “Grace’s scripts are a brilliant mix of compelling medical thriller and an authentic medical world that comes from her time as a doctor.

Filming gets underway

"They are also so accomplished that it’s hard to believe this is her first commissioned show.

"It’s wonderful to see how many new voices are making their first drama on ITV. We are all excited to see Niamh Algar take on the role of Lucinda."

She said Malpractice promises to be "something special".
