The show's cast - which includes Richard Madden from Game of Thrones and Keeley Hawes from Line of Duty, spent six days at the Mid-Norfolk Railway in Dereham earlier this year as part of the film shoot.

The production also brought more than 100 crew members and extras to the town, providing a boost to business and hotels.

The first episode in the six-part series will air on BBC1 on Sunday (August 26) at 9pm.

He is assigned to be the bodyguard to the home secretary, Julia Montague, a controversial politician intent on pushing a new counterterrorism bill through Parliament which would give the security service enhanced surveillance powers.

Her political ambitions make her a high-profile target.

Dedicated to his job but concealing deep resentment of politicians following his traumas in Helmand, David's divided loyalties might make him Julia's greatest threat.
