Liverpool is once again set to take centre stage in the hit BBC crime drama This City is Ours as filming for the much-anticipated second series continues to take place across the city.

Liverpool actor James Nelson-Joyce returns as leading gang member Michael Kavanagh, alongside Hannah Onslow as his partner Diana Williams.

The first series, which attracted an average of 5.8m viewers per episode, was filmed in and around Liverpool, as well as in Spain.

Producer Stephen Butchard said he aimed to capture the vibrancy of his native city, and it looks like the second series will be no exception.
