Pine Woods turned into BBC film set

9th February 2019

Formby Pine woods have been transformed into a film set ahead of a new BBC Drama starring Sean Bean.

The heartthrob actor has been spotted in the woodland in costume for the 7 part ‘World On Fire’ series expected to come to TV screens later this year and set in the forests of Belgium.

The brand new drama has been shooting in the woodland for weeks and walkers have been asked to either stay away or wait while cameras are live to avoid spoiling the shot.

However the film set has taken over the public footpath meaning anyone can go along to see the filming.
