Late Night Lycett has also filmed at the facility

EXCLUSIVE: The BBC’s long-running crime drama, Silent Witness, will relocate to a West Midlands studio when production begins on Series 29 next year.

The Bond is a multi-functional space in Birmingham’s creative hub, Digbeth, close to Steven Knight’s Digbeth Loc. Studios. It has several multi-functional spaces that are regularly used as production offices (or can be adapted as smaller studios), plus a studio called Retort House, where Silent Witness will set up home.

Joe Lycett’s Channel 4 entertainment show, Late Night Lycett, was filmed at the facility. Lycett and Knight are huge champions of their home turf as an under-tapped area of screen talent, with Digbeth becoming a growing central hub for creatives and production in the Birmingham/West Midlands area.

Steven Knight’s Peaky Blinders film recently started shooting in the West Midlands, with DI Ray and Man Like Mobeen also making their base there.
