Peaky Blinders star Cillian Murphy has been spotted filming scenes for the gangster drama in Manchester.
Co-star Tom Hardy is also thought to be in the city shooting the 1920s-set BBC series.
Footage posted on Twitter by photographer Robert Walker (@RobWalkerPhoto) shows Cillian holding a gun as he stands on a fire escape in Manchester’s Northern Quarter.
He pauses to fire a number of shots before heading down the stairs.

Peaky Blinders is set in Birmingham and follows a much-feared gang led by the ruthless Thomas Shelby (Cillian).
A fourth and fifth series have been commissioned but the release date has not been announced.
Tom has already been in the headlines this week after a witness described how he was seen apprehending a suspected moped thief after pursuing him in a dramatic chase.
The star looked like he “switched into superhero mode” as he collared the man before checking him for weapons after the chase near his home in Richmond, south-west London, an onlooker told The Sun.
