All things considered, it will likely land in the US eventually, most of these sorts of series always do, ie: Sherlock, Whitechapel, Broadchurch, Grantchester, Endeavor...

I can't help but notice that when they hired Sean as the lead they than hired some of his co-stars from GOT.
So it's a kind of GOT ALUMNI PARTY !! That's good PR for this television show !! :thumbsup:

It also has one of the producers of Game of Thrones, so this will probably have a good budget to it.

Thank you Patch !! So this scene sounds like several people are in a room listening to Blake as he reads some
of his poetry to his friends. Just as our HERO JOHN (AKA SEAN) walks in !!

Longhorn cattle -say what now?  Has the action moved from Victorian London to Texas for some reason?  How weird!

Given that I would thought that such filming was a good news story as a counterpoint to all the awful news stories they have from that part of the world, and that the productions bring tourism and create jobs, I dropped a line to Newsline - the BBCNI daily news/current affairs show and mentioned that some coverage of the filming would be interesting and not even the courtesy of a reply which is a bit shitty as I pay the Licence Fee that keeps them in their jobs.

Anyone else want to have a crack?

English Longhorn cattle are a long-horned brown and white breed of beef cattle originating from Craven, in the north of England. The breed was initially used as a draught animal, which its body is well suited for; the milk was also collected for butter and cheese because of its high butterfat content. An individual farmer would have owned one or two cows; these would have been accompanied by a bull owned by the Lord of the Manor.[1] The notable long, curved horns that serve to distinguish this breed from others can make an individual appear aggressive, although by temperament they are usually friendly. Longhorns live surprisingly longer than other breeds of cattle and are also known for calving with ease. They have a white patch along the line of their spine and under their bellies.

They are not to be confused with the Texas Longhorn breed, which is also often called "Longhorn cattle" or "Longhorns".

Though long-horned oxen were already predominant in Craven in the 16th and 17th centuries, the English Longhorn breed was much improved for beef by Robert Bakewell of Dishley, when large amounts of meat were needed to feed people who had moved to towns and cities in the Industrial Revolution.

Thank you Patch!  :)

I knew they were a northern breed, I've heard of them in Scotland but I always think of the ones they have wandering (fairly) free round NASA in Houston to keep the grass trimmed - not exactly what you expect to see amongst the rockets but hey.

PICTURED: Game of Thrones star Sean Bean spotted in South Belfast filming The Frankenstein Chronicles

Quote
Game of Thrones star Sean Bean was spotted filming scenes for his latest TV project in South Belfast on Sunday.

The 55-year-old actor was snapped filming on Upper Crescent, off University Road, for ITV's six-part period drama The Frankenstein Chronicles, which has been filming across Northern Ireland.

The drama is a re-imagining of the Frankenstein myth, produced by Rainmark Films, which incorporates elements from the investigative and horror genres. 


Bean, who played Ned Stark in the popular HBO series which was also filmed partly in Northern Ireland, takes on the role of Inspector John Marlott.

 The drama is set in Regency London in 1827 and has been created by Emmy nominated director and writer Benjamin Ross and writer Barry Langford.

Not looking so Sharpe now! A rugged Sean Bean slips into period dress to film The Frankenstein Chronicles in Belfast

Quote
Sean Bean was travelling back in time on Sunday, when he donned period garbs to film The Frankenstein Chronicles.

The English actor, who first found fame in ITV series Sharpe, was in Northern Ireland over the weekend to film the new six-part crime drama for the channel.

Sean, 55, was captured smiling in a brown hat, long coat and a brown waistcoat on Upper Crescent off University Road in Belfast.

The versatile actor, whose credits include Game of Thrones, The Lord of the Rings and Jupiter Ascending, is taking on the role of Inspector John Marlott working for Thames River Police.

Filming began for the period drama - set in Regency London in 1827 - in January this year and the actor looks like he's already getting to grips with the role.

He flashed a small smile as he approached a horse drawn carriage outside some of the elegant building on University Road as he was caught between takes.

Sean was accompanied by a young beauty in full costume, which included a bonnet and teal full skirt, though layered up with a contemporary padded jacket for warmth.

The Rainmark Films production is a reworking of Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein - which is about a scientist who creates a monster - and combines a detective drama plot with the original horror thriller story line.

A series of crimes are thought to be linked to the scientist Dr Frankenstein, as John will come to investigate.

1827? Sharpe would still be hale and healthy. This is sounding like the sort of character that Sharpe would be better suited to than as a farmer in Normandy. Hmmmm.... will be interesting to see what sort of personality they give Marlott.

It's very possible that a second series is underway. If I recall correctly, they did the same with Whitechapel. Once they saw the finished pre-air product of the first series they gave the go ahead for a second and once the first series aired they gave the ok for a third series.
