Cardiff Uni building used as setting for BBC’s new drama ‘His Dark Materials’

More filming has taken place in Cardiff recently, with the university's Glamorgan building being used as a backdrop for the BBC drama 'His Dark Materials'.

In addition to the stunning Glamorgan building, The Temple of Peace, a non-religious civic building, and Plasturton Gardens (situated near Pontcanna) have also been used.

'His Dark Materials' is a brand new series on BBC and is Jack Thorne’s adaptation of the famous series of novels written by Philip Pullman.

The eight-part series follows a girl, Lyra, who embarks on a dangerous adventure to the mystical North.
