Liverpool
city centre was once again transformed into 1960s London as filming continues
for a new ITV spy thriller.
North John
Street was transported back in time to the swinging 60s as a cast and crew
visited to film a new version of The Ipcress File.
Michael Caine
famously starred in the 60s movie inspired by Len Deighton’s novel set during
the height of the Cold War.
The ITV
production has been filming in Liverpool city centre over the last few months
and today the crew was based near the business district.
Actors and
extras were seen in 1960s dress, while a retro double decker London bus was
spotted.
Old fashioned
black cabs were also seen outside of a vintage looking Odeon cinema.
The new ITV
spy thriller stars Joe Cole, Harry Palmer, Lucy Boynton and Tom Hollander and
is adapted by BAFTA winning Trainspotting writer John Hodge.
Len
Deighton's novel will be adapted into a six part series for ITV, with the
majority of filming taking place in Liverpool and other scenes being shot in
Croatia later this year.
Film crews have so far filmed outside of The Philharmonic Pub, Exchange Street West and Lime Street.
