Over the last couple of evenings, the the Hexham-born actor has been seen with TV crew at Alnwick Market Place where he is believed to be filming for the upcoming Northumbria Mysteries.
Robson was pictured behind Rosie Bush from Alnwick Walking Tours who was out to lead their latest ghost walk before spotting the filming crew.

"The brilliant Robson Green and his film crew have been taking over Alnwick Market Place over the last couple of evenings, shooting scenes for his highly anticipated brand-new BBC detective drama, The Northumbria Mysteries!
“It turns out Rosie isn't the only one obsessed with uncovering the secrets, history, and mysteries hidden within these old stone streets.”
Set against the backdrop of the Northumberland coastline, The Northumbria Mysteries stars Robson as ex-convict and gambler Joe Ruby alongside Liz White (Life on Mars, Call the Midwife) who plays Oxford-educated DI Rose O'Connell.
Other cast members include Simon Callow, Kevin Whately, Gurjeet Singh and Chris Gascoyne.
Filming locations include Brinkburn Priory, Alnmouth, Dunstanburgh Castle, Alnwick, Bamburgh, Morpeth, Eglingham, Rothbury, Embleton and Beadnell.
The series has been commissioned as part of the Across the UK strategy as the BBC revealed new commitments to the creative growth of the North East.
