Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw are filming in London this month on new six-part spy thriller Black Doves.

New BBC comedy series Spent is also filming in London this month. Starring London-born actor and comedian, Michelle de Swarte, the six-part series follows a former catwalk fashion model on the run...from herself. De Swarte also pens the series about protagonist Mia, telling a story about the sudden pitfalls of high society life and the unwelcome, but inevitable moment when reality bites.

Also filming in London this November is Mr Loverman, a new family drama based on award-winning author Bernardine Evaristo's acclaimed 2013 novel. Lennie James (Save Me, The Walking Dead) stars in the adaptation as Barrington Jedidiah Walker, a Hackney-based, married man whose secret of 50 years finally reveals itself. Walker's life unravels when his decades-long affair with his best friend, Morris, forces him to make decisions that will change his family's life forever.

With both Spent and Mr Loverman in production in London, it's certainly exciting to be getting two brand-new BBC shows very soon!
