Three young Bradford actresses have landed roles in new TV drama South Riding, which has been largely filmed in the district.

Lydia Bistucz, Lydia Bradd and Grace Tattersall, all pupils at Stage 84 in Idle, are appearing in the three-part BBC1 series, due to start at the end of this month.

Starring David Morrissey, Anna Maxwell Martin, Penelope Wilton and Bradford actor Peter Firth, the Yorkshire saga is about a small-town community coping with the Depression of the 1930s.
