More scenes for a new ITV drama are being captured in St Albans, with film crews taking over a St Albans pub this week.

Filming for six-part police drama Code of Silence took place in the city last month when leading star Rose Ayling-Ellis was spotted for scenes being captured at the Fade to Black coffee shop in The Quadrant.

Now, crews have taken over The Garibaldi pub in Albert Street this week, with filming beginning on Monday (October 7) and lasting until Friday (October 11).

"Filming starts at The Garibaldi on Monday for the ITV drama Code of Silence. Filming finishes Friday," read a post from the pub's landlady, Caroline Beale.

"Apologies for disruption of opening hours, but its the first time in 15 years we’ve has to amend opening hours.

"Thank you all for being so understanding and supportive, it’s exciting and such a good thing for the pub."

Ayling-Ellis will be joined by are Kieron Moore, Charlotte Ritchie and Andrew Buchan in the new drama, which according to ITV "offers a fresh and distinctive perspective on the intersection of crime and communication".

Code of Silence is told through the point of view of Alison Brooks - played by Ayling-Ellis - a deaf canteen worker who is struggling to make ends meet, juggling two jobs, one in a police canteen and another in a local bar.

Alison is pulled into a high-stakes police investigation when DS Ashleigh Francis - played by Charlotte Ritchie - asks that she use her lip-reading skills to monitor a dangerous criminal gang.

As her interpretation of their covert conversations becomes central to the investigation, Alison is plunged into an exhilarating new world of police work, but her feelings become complicated when she finds herself drawn to one of the suspects, Liam Bayne - played by Kieron Moore.

Despite knowing the risks and the growing threat to her personal life, Alison can’t let go.

Ayling-Ellis shot to fame as Frankie Lewis in EastEnders, before becoming the first deaf contestant to compete on Strictly Come Dancing, winning the 2021 series of the show.

She's also appeared on Casualty and was the first deaf presenter of a live sports event, hosting part of Channel 4's Paralympic coverage earlier this year.

She was also awarded an MBE in the King's Birthday Honours for 'voluntary services to the deaf community'.
