Anna Firel was seen on the set of Jimmy McGovern's new BBC drama in Liverpool on Tuesday.

Colin McKeown, executive producer for LA Productions says: 'This is a profoundly challenging and sensitive subject, tackled with intelligence and care by Jimmy McGovern. The actress went out for nine years with Harry Potter actor David Thewlis, with whom she has a 15-year-old daughter, and later courted Notting Hill star Rhys Ifans. After her two-year stint on the soap, Anna went on to have an illustrious acting career and even bagged Emmy awards for her portrayal in Pushing Daisies and Marcella.
