Dacorum Borough Council revealed filming took place under the code name Mandrake in Hemel during February 2024.

Bevan Close was transformed into a period setting, with residents renting out their drives, moving cars, and even offering up their homes for redecoration to bring the story to life.

Told through the eyes of journalist Nick Davies (David Tennant) and DCS David Cook (Robert Carlyle), the drama exposes how press, police and government became dangerously intertwined — and the individuals who risked everything to reveal the truth.

Other locations included in filming are Muswell Hill, Kilburn and London.

The Hack premiered on September 24, and is now available on ITVX at https://orlo.uk/ehYce
