A bulked-up Stephen Graham was spotted filming for his new crime drama, Adolescence for the first time as he joined Ashley Walters on set on Thursday.
The actor, 50, showed off his muscular physique as he was seen in a tight orange polo shirt and some grubby black working trousers.
Stephen, who is believed to play a plumber in the new production, appeared to be in a crisis during the scenes as he was surrounded by armed police officers, one of which is played by Top Boy star Ashley, 42.
In the first look snaps from the set, armed police could be seen storming Stephen's house and taking his young son into custody.
Stephen, who potentially goes by the Miller Plumber van parked on the drive, was seen following his son outside with his daughter and wife in tow.

Tense arguments broke out among the family, and the actor was seen shouting to his son that it would be okay and to not say anything until he got to the station himself.
Stephen can also be heard shouting to the police officers, 'that he's just a boy' and 'Is this all necessary?'.
Very little is known about the plot as Netflix has only said that the show is 'an ambitious crime drama told in a real-time, one-shot style'.
And Plan B Entertainment described it as an 'emotionally searing and innovative series' and 'a truly singular television event.'
Stephen is producing the drama alongside his wife, Hannah Walters, and has co-written it alongside Jack Thorne.
He and Hannah said: 'Matriarch [Productions, which they co-founded] is delighted to announce their involvement on Adolescence
'It's a dream to work side by side creatively with Jack Thorne, a long-time friend.
'Also, working with Philip Barantini (Boiling Point, Malpractice) is, of course, always an incredible experience - and a marriage that we know works beautifully.'
