People have been stopping to take pictures of filming taking place at Sharpness Docks.

Residents and tourists are intrigued by the project, which is being put together with clips of actors dressed in worn-looking hats and jackets, travelling on boats.

A member of the public said she saw James Cosmo, who has appeared in worldwide hit Game Of Thrones and Geoff Bell from Kingsman: The Secret Service.

It is understood crews could be filming the BBC's His Dark Materials adaptation, a major eight-epsiode series.

Cosmo and Bell are on the cast list with several others from Game of Thrones- Lucien Msamati and Ian Gelder.

According to an article on Hollywood Reporter, producers Bad Wolf are also working with the likes of Georgina Campbell and Anne-Marie Duff.

The Canal and River Trust put out a notice to say filming was taking place at Sharpness Docks during July.

"There will be a mooring suspension in place on the Sharpness visitor moorings during this period to allow boats associated with the filming to be moored between the high and low level bridges," it said.

"Extra caution should be taken when transiting the area and all canal users are requested to comply with guidance offered by event organisers.

"Thank you for your co-operation in this matter."
