Comedians Katherine Ryan and Romesh Ranganathan have been spotted filming with Sky TV crews in St Albans this afternoon.

They were pictured on Pageant Road just before 1pm today (May 18) shooting scenes for a new comedy series called Romantic Getaway.

According to TellyMix, the pair will star as a couple whose desperation for a baby ends in a downward spiral into the criminal underworld.

A teaser reveals: "Allison (Katherine Ryan) and Deacon (Romesh Ranganathan) are desperate for a baby, but they’ve run out of money to fund any more IVF treatment.

“So they decide to ‘borrow’ the £50k they need from their filthy rich boss Alfie, who they discover is illegally creaming off money from the company. And it works! 

“Except that, on a whim, Deacon secretly adds an extra nought to the transfer, and actually steals half a million quid.

“Also, Allison is secretly starting to doubt whether she wants a baby after all.

“Their web of lies kicks off a downward spiral into the criminal underworld of suburban Britain, and pushes them, and their plans for their future together, to the limit.
