Where is Intruder filmed?
INTRUDER is the brand new Channel 5 drama follows a couple after a break-in in their home.
The new drama is supposedly a "London-based" show, but filming took place in Ireland.
"There was nothing definitive about the time of year it is [in the script], but I don’t think it was supposed to be the height of summer because we’re wearing coats and stuff.
"So believe it or not, that was Ireland at its best."
So Silverstrand beach in County Galway provided the background for these eerie scenes.
The cave system can be entered from the beach - and despite the cast's preconceptions, the location was fairly hospitable.
Show star Elaine Cassidy said: “I was like ‘it’s going to be freezing, it’s going to be damp’, really not looking forward to it,” she recalled. “And when we got there, there was another new energy.
“The caves were actually warmer than outside, we were so lucky because it pelted it down with rain but we were in this lovely little kind of safe cocoon. They were spectacular. We were even lucky enough to see some bats which felt really special.”
The beach and its neighbouring caravan parks have provided the setting fot other TV series including Love/Hate, Moonfleet, The Vikings, Camelot, George Gently, Fair City and ITV’s Primeval.
However, actor Tom Meeten revealed that Intruder’s director was not such a fan of the location.
He told Radio Times: “Gareth [Tunley], our director who wrote it, actually has quite bad claustrophobia.

He said: "So, he was struggling inside the caves which I found quite amusing,”
“This is the sadistic side of me.”
