Thrush Street, off Rooley Moor Road, was closed for two days whilst cast and crew were on set.

Ian Hines, owner of the house where filming recently took place, said: “The cast and crew were brilliant.

“Filming [took place] inside the house with Vinnie [actor Joseph Gilgun] and gang, where they removed the furniture fixtures and fittings and replaced them with their props. 

“All in all, great gang. But this is ultimately great for Rochdale; fantastic programme and very thankful they use sets within the north west rather than [in a] studio.”

A representative for Sky said: “The production is now filming series 4. It’s using various locations across Lancashire and around the Manchester area. I can confirm the location of Rochdale was used. Unfortunately, I can’t reveal what scenes were being filmed.

“We are keeping the story under wraps so there are no spoilers for fans when they come to watch. The new series will broadcast in 2022.

“Currently series 3 is being broadcast on Sky Max channel and streaming service NOW. It’s on every Wednesday at 10pm. The whole series is currently available to view on Sky demand also.”
