ANDREW Lincoln has been spotted filming an "intoxicating" new thriller for ITV in the city's East End.
The six-part series Cold Water is set in a fictional Scottish village and features the The Walking Dead star as well as Trainspotting actor Ewen Bremner and Game of Thrones' Indira Varma.
The story follows John (Lincoln), a repressed man who is shocked to find himself in middle age, secretly raging at his life as a stay-at-home dad.

When John ups and moves his family to the rural idyll of Coldwater, he is quickly befriended by next-door neighbour Tommy (Bremner), a charming, confident man, and devoted husband.
However, underneath his collected exterior, Tommy harbours some horrific secrets of his own.
One local resident captured a picture of Lincoln running down Broompark Drive during filming on Thursday.
Cold Water is written by David Ireland and produced by SISTER for ITV.
Ireland said: "Cold Water started with a question I was asking myself. Where do I want to live – the countryside or the city?
"Such an innocent beginning, but from it came this dark, funny, twisted thriller. I was delighted when Sister loved the script and thrilled when ITV decided to commission it.
"And I’m amazed we’ve managed to attract such a peerless cast, led by the formidable Andrew Lincoln. I hope viewers will find it intoxicating."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
