FIRST images of a major new TV drama partly filmed in the Bradford district have been released ahead of its broadcast.

The Couple Next Door is set to hit the screens on Channel 4 this autumn and features an all-star cast.

The series is being filmed between the UK and Belgium, with the Bradford district taking a starring role.

It is described as a "deliciously dark, psychological drama, exploring the stultifying claustrophobia of suburbia and the fallout of chasing your darkest desires".

The six-part series is described an addictive, emotional roller coaster and looks at how we never know what goes on behind closed doors.

When Evie (Eleanor Tomlinson who has previously starred in BBC One series Poldark) and Pete (Alfred Enoch) move into an upscale neighbourhood, they find themselves in a world of curtain twitching and status anxiety.

They soon find friendship in the shape of the couple next door, alpha traffic cop Danny (Sam Heughan) and his wife, glamorous yoga instructor Becka (Jessica De Gouw).

Sam Heughan heads up the cast as Danny who shares a passionate night with Evie, his beautiful but troubled neighbour.

Some scenes for the drama series were filmed on Baildon Moor during one day in April this year.

A letter shared with residents before filming took place on Baildon Moor said: "We are working closely with Bradford Council on this project who have been wonderful in supporting us coming to film in such a picturesque setting.

"We understand that Baildon Moor offers spectacular views and is therefore very popular for visitors, dog walkers and ramblers.

"We are so grateful to be able to film in the area and appreciate the disruption that these closures may cause for some people on the day. Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused."
