Watford-area babies are being sought for the filming of an upcoming BBC drama.
Casting agency Daisy and Dukes has put out a call for children born after January 2025 to be used for filming.

While the BBC has not confirmed exactly what show the call is for, some have speculated it could be Babies, an upcoming six-part drama.
Starring Paapa Essiedu and Siobhán Cullen, Babies began filming earlier this year, with Hertfordshire locations already being used for some scenes.
In February, Abbots Langley's former police house was used for filming, as was Toms Lane in Kings programme was announced by the BBC in November of last year and will feature Black Mirror's Essiedu and Bodkin star Cullen, as well as Jack Bannon and Charlotte Riley.
