TV crews have taken over Le Mans Crescent as filming for the second series of Sky’s Funny Woman takes place.
The street was transformed into 1960s London this morning (Monday, February 5), complete with classic cars, a vintage bus, and transformed shopfronts.
Victoria Square has also been closed off.
The filming comes just days after Adrian Dunbar was spotted in the town centre filming for Ridley.
A source told The Bolton News that filming was taking place for Sky’s Funny Woman.

The second series of the drama, announced earlier this month, sees Gemma Arterton star as the charismatic comedian Sophie Straw alongside Steve Zissis, Marcus Rutherford, Tim Key, Gemma Whelan, and Roisin Conaty.
The first series is currently streaming on NOW and Sky, with the second series set to air later this year.
According to Sky, the second series will find Sophie on a high as the nation’s favourite TV comedy star, but trouble is around the corner as her new sitcom flops.

Upon announcement of the second series, writer Morwenna Banks said: “It’s a thrill to dive back into the world of 1960’s London - with the extraordinary cast and crew of Funny Woman series two.
“Thanks to the genius of Gemma Arterton as Nick Hornby's heroine Sophie Straw - a whole host of new guest stars have joined us.
“We welcome stellar performances from Steve Zissis, Marcus Rutherford, Tim Key, Gemma Whelan, Roisin Conaty and many more …tune in turn on and don’t drop out”.
