Bristol has played a key part in a new TV drama.

Areas of the city were transformed into 1970s Jamaica and London for the Disney+ series, Black Cake.

Bristol Film Office worked with the production team and the council to close part of Princes Wharf and Park Street whilst filming took place.

A spokesperson from the council said: "The business this brings in is great news for our film industry and wider economy."

The eight-episode series is an adaptation of Charmaine Wilkerson's novel of the same name.

Set over several decades and countries, it follows a family which is involved with a murder mystery.

For five days in September, Princes Wharf became Jamaica's Port Royal Harbour, with the famous vintage ship, MV Balmoral playing the part of a Windrush vessel ferrying passengers to England.

Frog Lane near Park Street also features in the series, as a Christmas market in London. Filming also took place at the University of Bristol's Clifton Hill House, the former Lloyds Bank building and Wellington Terrace in Clifton.

Laura Aviles, Head of Film at Bristol City Council, said: "Bristol's preserved quayside is consistently popular with film and television productions seeking period dockside settings, with its unique combination of working cranes, steam railway, transit shed and, of course, the superb 1940's MV Balmoral.

"The fact that Black Cake carried out not one, but two large-scale outdoor shoots in Bristol really shows the confidence productions have in the film office and the fact that Bristol can suit all kinds of international location needs."
