Thin Blue Line star Mina Anwar said hello, hello, hello to Bradford to help launch a new television writing scheme.
The actress, who starred as PC Habib in Rowan Atkinson's police comedy, was at the Alhambra Studio to start the BBC's Northern Exposure initiative which aims to unearth the TV writers and performers of the future.
Writers who submit their work to the £40,000, two-year, initiative will have the chance to meet top BBC executives and gain insights into how the TV industry works.
Also there was Bradford-born writer Trish Cooke, pictured with Mina, who has been appointed the BBC's writer in residence in the north. Kate Rowland, the BBC's creative director of new writing, said: "Northern Exposure is a great opportunity for the BBC to discover the writers and performers of the future and we're really excited to be working in Bradford, a city full of talent and rich cultural diversity.
"We've always been committed to the development of new writing and the establishment of a creative environment. Northern Exposure allows us to do that in partnership with one of the most vibrant cities in the north."
