Television broadcaster ITV is planning to use The Rifleman pub in Twickenham for its crime drama series Unforgotten.

Neighbours on and around Fourth Cross Road have received letters from Mainstreet Pictures on behalf of ITV's own Unforgotten Productions Ltd about filming on Monday 10 June.

If permitted, the crew and cast of 40 people will shoot both interior and exterior shots of The Rifleman from 8am to 12pm, with approval to hold pedestrians if required.

Furthermore, four residents parking spaces will need to be kept clear for certain shots, as well as four shared spaces on nearby Trafalgar Road and another eight from the junction with Hampton Road, towards The Prince of Wales Pub.

These parking suspensions will be in place to allow technical vehicles to remain in place from 7am to 2pm on the day.

"We are a professional and conscientious crew, and we appreciate that we are very privileged to film in the borough," reads the letter addressed from Mainstreet Pictures' location manager Tyler Harrington.

"We do not take for granted the support we are shown from residents for which we are hugely grateful".

Mr Harrington also assures residents that the crew will be maintaining contact with residents "throughout the filming process", with security and location teams ready to deal with any queries.

Unforgotten began airing in October 2015, with the most recent fifth series receiving an average viewership of 8.25 million per episode in 2023.

The programme even earned two actors BAFTAs – Tom Courtenay and Mark Bonnar – for their performances in its first and second series.

Its production in Twickenham is being planned in cooperation with Richmond Council's Film Office.
