While the programme is mainly set in London, filming for the series actually took place in Budapest - and viewers have noticed.
Taking to Twitter to complain about Budapest being passed off as England's capital, one person wrote: "Having #Deadline set in London but filming it in Budapest really spoils it @channel5_tv," while another added: "And you're fooling no one using Budapest for London."

A third viewer commented: "Do programme makers think we're stupid and that we don't recognise UK architecture? So obviously not Cambridge or London! #Deadline."

Explaining the decision to film the series in Budapest, the show's director Joe Ahearne told Wales Online: "We all loved Budapest. It's a very striking city and very film-friendly. I've wanted to film there ever since I visited for another project years ago.
"Many big shows are filming there now. They have spectacular locations like Memento Park where all the communist-era statues have been exiled and we constructed a major sequence around that. The crew were all local and extremely dedicated. I can't wait to work there again."

Deadline continues on Thursday 7 April at 9pm on Channel 5.
