It happened in 2010 and the cameras were on set at the Holborn Rose and Crown pub.
Landlord Bob Overton was delighted to welcome the likes of Martin Shaw and Lee Ingleby to his local.
And the Shields Gazette was there to capture all of these wonderful scenes. Tell us if you watched the action unfold by emailing [email protected]
