Are you excited for the new series?

In July, the BBC drama's team revealed on Instagram that half of the upcoming series has been shot already and that filming for the remaining episodes will conclude in early winter.

The show posted a behind-the-scenes snap showing actors April Rae Hoang, Alice Brown and Ned Shaw, who play Turner children May, Angela and Teddy respectively, dressed in costume.

The caption read: "Filming days can be very long, and the hours very inhospitable - and so our production likes to reward our team with a decent break midway through so that they can return refreshed to complete the series." We can't wait.
