Jim Broadbent has revealed that his role in new BBC One thriller Exile, co-starring John Simm, was to have been played by the late Pete Postlethwaite.

Speaking after a preview screening at Bafta, in London, writer Danny Brocklehurst, revealed he had written the part of Tom for Simm.

Simm, who had just finished playing Hamlet at the Sheffield Crucible before filming began, said the relationship between his and Broadbent's character was a potent one.

The three-parter, directed by John Alexander and also starring Claire Goose and Olivia Colman, will start to be aired in late April.
