JOHN Simm is back on the box, and this time he is playing Detective Superintendent Roy Grace in ITV drama Grace.

The new series brings with it some stunning filming locations in the Brighton and Hove area.

Where is ITV's Grace filmed?

Brighton Palace Pier

The pier features heavily in the show and can be seen in many of the promotional pictures for the show.

It is a Grade II listed pleasure pier located in the city centre opposite the Old Steine.

Opening in 1899, it was the third pier to be constructed in Brighton after the Royal Suspension Chain Pier and the West Pier, but is now the only one still in operation.

The pier is often used as a filming location and was featured in the gangster thriller Brighton Rock, the comedy Carry On at Your Convenience and the Who's concept album and film Quadrophenia.

Sydney Street in Brighton

It was reported that in September 2020, leading man John Simm was spotted walking down Sydney Street in Brighton with a small crowd of extras and camera crew following.

According to local newspaper The Argus, shopkeepers said they were asked to temporarily remove signs about face masks and social distancing, as the drama is not set in the Covid-19 era.

Ferndale Road and Silverdale Road in Hove

Residential street in Hove, Ferndale Road, was also used as a location for Grace.

Crews were then spotted in Silverdale Road, which is just around the corner.

According to local reports, cast and crew gathered to film a hit and run scene which included actress Amanda Okafor, who plays DC Emma Jane Boutwood in the show.

Shoreham Port

A camera crew were seen shooting a scene with actor Craig Parkinson in November 2020 at Shoreham Port.

Line Of Duty star Craig was seen with crew members who were all wearing masks and high vis jackets.

According to reports, the shoot took many hours and continued into the night.

When is Grace on TV?

You can watch Grace at 8pm tonight (March 14, 2021) on ITV.

You can also catch up with it on the ITV Hub.
