Gemma Arterton, who plays Tommy’s daughter Frankie, watched all manner of Liverpudlian TV shows to help her master a North West accent.

She added: “I did it in the audition just like a rough version and Jonathan said to me: ‘it’s nice how you’ve merged the Liverpudlian with the Cumbrian’ because she lives in Cumbria now.

“I said: ‘I think you’ll find that it’s just cr*p Liverpudlian but if it works for you, then great’.”
