Bolton will take centre stage - again - this week as The Full Monty TV series, which was partly filmed in the town , is set to air.
The series, which is a sequel to the original hit film, will follow the original band of "brothers" as they navigate the post-industrial city of Sheffield and society’s crumbling healthcare, education, and employment sectors.
Stars and the crew were spotted by visitors to Bolton town centre filming last summer.
Film Crews moved into Victoria Square to film inside the old Specsavers unit in Crompton Place Shopping Centre and today stars from the original BAFTA-winning film cast, as well as those playing fresh characters could be seen rehearsing and filming scenes.
After the release of first-look images last month, the show is set to be released this coming week, and here is how you can watch it.
