BBC film crews, as well as leading actor Rafe Spall, are in Salisbury today as filming for the upcoming TV drama about the Novichok poisonings continues.

The team has been spotted along Avon Approach, near the area where former Russian spy Sergei Skripal was poisoned in March 2018.

As part of filming a fake police cordon has been set up.

Film crews for the three-part factual miniseries were yesterday spotted in Malmesbury, which has a Market Cross that looks similar to the one in Salisbury where the poisonings occurred.

Crews have also been spotted in Bristol.

According to the BBC, the show entitled 'Salisbury' will focus on how ordinary people in the city reacted to the unprecedented national crisis triggered by Skripal and his daughter Yulia being poisoned by Novichok.

The drama has been written by Adam Patterson and Declan Lawn, and alongside Spall stars Anne-Marie Duff (Shameless, His Dark Materials), Mark Addy (Game of Thrones, Downton Abbey) Annabel Scholey (The Split, Britannia), Johnny Harris (This is England ‘86, Jawbone) and MyAnna Buring (The Witcher, Ripper Street).
