ST HELENS' disused police custody suite is once again the scene for a TV series after film and catering trucks took over Birchley Street car park today.

Many readers have been wondering why the car park was once again filled with trucks, but the Star has now confirmed with Merseyside Police that filming is taking place in the former St Helens custody suite for a BBC programme.

This is the third time that the venue has been used as a location for drama.

Sky Atlantic series Tin Star, was filmed there last October and ITV's The Bay was filmed there in November 2019.
