Across four episodes, we follow cab driver Tony (Robert Glenister<\/a>) as he becomes increasingly attached to a late-night radio host, played by Sean Pertwee.<\/p>\n As per the synopsis: \u201cOne day Tony plucks up the courage to ring Lawrence on-air and soon becomes a \u201cfriend of the show\u201d \u2013 for the first time in years, he feels listened to. But, as time passes, he starts to interpret Lawrence\u2019s \u201cworld view\u201d in dangerous ways.<\/p>\n \u201cThe relationship grows into an unhealthy obsession for Tony, until he comes to the realisation that the real Lawrence isn\u2019t the man he purports to be.\u201d<\/p>\n In the wonderful world of TV, it\u2019s not always the case that series are filmed on location, so is The Night Caller shot in Liverpool or elsewhere? Read on for a full breakdown of the locations used in the new series.<\/p>\n The Night Caller is set in and around Liverpool but in fact, the Channel 5 drama was filmed primarily in Dublin\u00a0<\/strong>with some shots also in Liverpool<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Of course, as per the very nature of the series, we see a lot of Tony in his cab late at night on the streets of Liverpool, ferrying drunken people to and from venues.<\/p>\n Speaking about what it was like filming, Robert Glenister said: \u201cWe were filming in Dublin, and it\u2019s interesting seeing a city at night, you do see it in a completely different light. We didn\u2019t use any green screen \u2013 I was driving the cab myself a lot, or we were on a low loader with lights and a camera, which was quite exciting going through the clubbing part of Dublin on a Thursday night.<\/p>\n \u201cEverybody wanted to be in the scene after a couple of jars! I loved it, and I got quite good at pressing the fare button casually, I could do it without looking! The low loader is really good because the front wheels are connected to the steering wheel, so you don\u2019t have to concentrate on the driving, you just literally hold onto the steering wheel.\u201d<\/p> Similarly, director Diarmuid Goggins said of the filming process for The Night Caller: \u201cWe shot the majority of the series in Ireland and then sent over a second unit to do a few days in Liverpool and get the backdrop of the city.<\/p>\n \u201cSo everything that looks at Robert in the cab was shot in Ireland, and everything that looks out of his window was shot in Liverpool. So, we spent three days in Liverpool, not celebrating the nightlife but filming it! And we got key shots of Anfield and the churches and docks.\u201d<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cA lot of series will shoot in different cities to where the story is set these days, and I was apprehensive because sometimes it doesn\u2019t work. It\u2019s hard to cheat certain parts of the world and I never want to break the illusion for viewers.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve tried to film a London show in Dublin before for example, and they\u2019re very different cities. London is much bigger, it\u2019s got far more high-rise architecture and the scale of it is immense, so I don\u2019t think that worked.<\/p>\n \u201cBut there\u2019s much more shared history between Liverpool and Dublin, there\u2019s a similarity in the red brick architecture and the docks. When we drove round we realised pretty quickly that they\u2019re not a million miles apart. Eagle eyed viewers will probably notice that, but I think it\u2019s quite seamless.\u201d<\/p>\n The Night Caller airs nightly, starting Sunday 7th July at 9pm on Channel.
