A SNEAK peek of scenes from a new TV drama series partly filmed in Bradford based on the case of a killer who shot and blinded a police officer and went on the run has been released.

The Hunt for Raoul Moat, which was partly filmed on a green adjacent to Rayner Mount in Allerton last year, will be broadcast on ITV1 and ITVX over three successive nights at 9pm starting from Sunday, April 16.

There is also a documentary on Moat which will be broadcast on April 19.

A 30-second-long trailer for the new three-part series has been released which includes the seven-day manhunt which took place to find Moat and says the drama is coming soon.

ITV has also released a number of images from the series to whet viewers’ appetites.

It involved scenes filmed in Allerton featuring a police investigation with marked force cars, police officers and a forensic tent used. Filming also took place at some of the ginnels and paths in the area near to the green.

Newcastle bouncer Moat, 37, killed his love rival Chris Brown, 29, in Birtley, Gateshead, in July 2010, then blasted his former lover Samantha Stobbart, leaving her in a critical condition.

The next night he shot and blinded unarmed PC David Rathband, who was sitting in a patrol car. The officer later took his own life.

Moat went on the run and, after a terrifying week-long manhunt, he found himself surrounded by armed police on the banks of the River Coquet in Rothbury, Northumberland.

In a bizarre development, former England footballer Paul ‘Gazza’ Gascoigne turned up during the stand-off, taking a fishing rod, lager and chicken in a misguided bid to 'save' Moat - and was turned away.

Inquest jurors returned a verdict of suicide in the death of Moat, who shot himself in the head to end the six-hour stand-off.

The ITV drama focuses on the innocent victims of Moat’s crimes – Mr Brown, Miss Stobbart and PC Rathband.

The Hunt for Raoul Moat begins with Moat’s Miss Stobbart piecing her life back together following Moat’s imprisonment for an assault. He is then released from HMP Durham after serving a four-month sentence.

He plays Neil Adamson, a senior Northumbria Police Officer, who leads the investigation to catch Moat. Matt Stokoe, who starred in Bodyguard, will play Moat. The cast also includes actors Sonya Cassidy, Vineeta Rishi and Sally Messham.
