A restaurant on the Northumberland coast hosted TV's Robson Green over the weekend while he filmed for a new BBC detective drama.

Alnwick's Pig in Muck - a brunch and tapas eatery in the town's Market Square - played a starring role in welcoming the BBC production team behind the newly shot series Northumbria Mysteries.

The drama, which marks a return of BBC production to the North East, sees Hexham-born Robson Green star as Joe Ruby: a jack-of-all-trades whose life has been shaped by mistakes, regrets and missed opportunities, alongside Oxford-educated DI Rose O'Connell (played by Life on Mars' Liz White).

"And that's a wrap," said the Pig in Muck team via social media.

"This week, we hosted the BBC for filming of Northumbria Mysteries featuring Robson Green, followed by a super busy weekend serving a wide range of beers, from Peach Lagers to gluten-free hazy IPAs.

"We're open all day today if you fancy two cocktails for a tenner, then back Thursday to do it all again."
